I really like all of your work.

Great looking work. What inlays did you use for the fish?

A.T.,

This is a gorgeous table. The design and detail on the table are nothing short of artwork. Very nice.

Thanks for the post.

-- With God's help all things are possible- even woodworking. Woodworking is not just a hobby, it is an (expletive deleted) expensive hobby.

Exceptional work – the inlays are fantastic!

this looks great. Love the inlay. I don’t really know how to do inlays other than what I have seen david marks do but as far as I can see, They look really nice and precise (hey that rimes :) Love the grain on the top peice. Good work.

-- Tyler, Illinois

those inlays are amazing. i love the grain on that quilted ash. it is one of the most beautiful i have ever seen. Thanks for the post!

Love that quilting! The inlays really set it off.

That is a wonderful table and I am looking forward to seeing the rest of it soon!

this table is AWESOME! GREAT WORK! love that leg joinery. although i am a little confused on the how and why of the short perpendicular piece on the inside of the legs….

What finish did you use to keep the quilt shimmery?

-- No piece is cut too short. It was meant for a smaller project.

Absolutely gorgeous!

-- Depend on the rabbit's foot if you will, but remember it didn't work for the rabbit.

That’s an awesome table, even without the inlay. The pair of koi really sets it off. I can’t wait to see the other three!

Wow, that is so cool. That is beyond my current skill level, but I like fish and have a pond out back, and I’d love to have a table like this.

The stretcher/leg joinery is fantastic – incredible work!

-- "No Board Left Behind"

I am always blown away by the work you produce. Can’t wait to see the rest of the set.

Thanks again everyone ,,,,, To the Questions posed, The fish are made of sold 1/4 thick Ebony and Paduak.
The finish is several coats of Gloss Poly, steel wool between coats … “Deft Ploy”
Mac, The leg joinery is a bit more complecated to explain, but heres the 60 word version..

The short cross piece on the inside the actually holds the long stretcher pieces that go from leg to leg together. The legs them selves are notched, and the stretcher pieces actually slide into the front and sides of the legs. To hold it all together I hotched all of the stretcher pieces, long and short, so that they interlock in the center and around the legs … Very solid and heavy table …hope this makes a little since …

Great detail and a fantastic theme to use

-- Stuart, North Dakota

I like the overall design. It is a nice blend of Western and Asian elements..the mass of the legs doesn’t seem as obvious due to the delicate nature and grid-like pattern on the stretchers. I’d like to the see other 3 elements (earth, wind, fire). Post more!

-- Rich, Madison WI
