This is a table that I built my Junior year in high school. It was a fun project, but of course it had its share of problems. The main problem that I had was that the table top keep cracking on me. I did finally end up getting it to stay put after gluing it three times. So I did end up with a few gaps which I had to fill. I really enjoyed doing this project, it was a lot of fun to figure out how to do some of the processes. During the building of my table I did end up changing my mind on how I wanted to cut the legs, I was originally going to have both sides curve into the center. But just before I cut the other side I decided to try something different, and I have to say that I am very happy I changed my mind. I also really love the look of the Maple and the walnut together it is a very great combo of woods.
