I love it, but it looks upside-down ;)
Just kidding, Marc. I’m a big fan. Thanks for taking us all along for the ride.

Nice piece Marc – I just watched your video on it a couple of days ago. I sure wish I had your eye for design – and while I’m wishing, I wouldn’t mind some of your abilities either. You do good work and I appreciate the videos, I’ve learned a lot from watching them.

very unique table. I really enjoyed watching the videos of this as it came together. Personally, I dont much like how you’ve joined the table top to the legs, having the legs “outside” the table top just doesn’t look right to me, but like you say in the videos, this is the kind of thing that you’re either going to love or hate.. Apart from that, great table.

Hi Marc,
When this first came up I was focusing on the piece and I thought someone had copied your work. I enjoyed seeing the design/construction process. It is different and unique. But isn’t the furniture arrangement going to look out of balance with just one? How about building another one to restore harmony to the room.
Thanks not only for this post but also for what you are doing for the hobby/profession as well. It is appreciated.

Like the steel dowels that you put in there. It is good to see this assembly method.

Really Nice design and choice of materials…
What kind of walnut is that?? Where did you get it??? It’s got more red in it than most I’ve seen. I LOVE THE LOOK OF IT!!!

this is a very cool piece and it speaks volumes about your talents as a woodworker.
Your photography is top notch as well. perhaps you could pod cost that, “how to get a great shot of your completed piece”

Great work, Marc. Loved watching you craft it. I haven’t seen the last bit though. The top looks really cool!
