The photos represent the evolution of the cherry farmhouse table I just constructed. Tell me what you think! I discovered a cache of locally grown and harvest Indiana Cherry for this project that was an impressive 6/4 in thickness. I biscuit joined the boards and places a nice chamfer on the boards ahead of time. The boards where hand selected and included a couple strategically placed knots and wanes to add to the visual interest of the table. I used ebony stain and the final product has a rich walnut luster in a mat finish.

Table looks good but why ebony stain cherry?

I agree, table looks great, but why hide the cherry? Could have used poplar.

I like the table too aqnd like the others I personally wouldnt have ebony stained cherry, but it looks nice. I think your work speaks for itself.

Never understood why folks would stain Cherry or any other hardwood a different color , but to each his/her own.
Cherry darkens all by itself with a little bit of time.
Nice legs and overall a good design : )

Thanks for all the great feedback. It was VERY difficult to apply the ebony stain but the combination made an amazing and unique finish. This was for a client and the combination was one in a million. I can honestly say there is not another one on the planet. I would have done the finishing much differently if it was for my home personally. Since I design and create custom pieces I encourage people to think outside the box and avoid making the obvious decision.
