These cherry boards were sawn from a salvaged cherry tree which was thrown away and seriously damaged by beetles. http://lumberjocks.com/topics/41700
This project costed me long working hours on the holes but also taught me so much (first of all, that performing stone inlay in such a wide area is much beyond my patience:)) Of course i made many mistakes but finally it finished like this and became a valuable practice for me in many ways.
For the legs i thought on so many different ideas however suddenly implemented this cross-leg design which i am still not sure..
Finish is shellac for the top, mineral oil for the legs.
Dimensions (l,d,h) : 82cm x 32cm x 50cm (33×13x20).
Thanks for looking, all critiques are appreciated..

Nice work. I like the turquoise inlay to fill the worm holes, nice touch.

If it only cost time, and gained much knowledge, you came out ahead.
