Good looking table, I like the idea of shaping the legs to resemble a treetrunk.

Thank you all for the kind encouragemenst. I never thought I’d do such a project; always only thinking of using “finished wood”, but my good LJ friend Wayne Dailey has done some work that really captured my attention. Now I have a couple of tree trunks prepped for future projects. Elaine, I’ve no idea what they’ll be!! Maybe a bit of them will find their way to some of the intarsia peices you have me thinking of. My imagination can’t begin to equal yours. I’m so very glad to have found you and your tutorial here on LJs. Thanks!! My buddy RickL-you know real “excellent” what with those chairs and other projects you’ve shared. I’ll humbly accept your compliment, knowing you learned to be a true “southern gentleman” whilst here in Tennessee. LOL. Lou, from the works I’ve seen you make, you know “gorgeous”- thank you my pisan. This is all good fun. Thank you all-each of you are blessings in my life.
