Interesting design; I think it’s bound to get some interesting reactions.

Those reverse-tapered legs are definitely cool! Also, nice use of the blown-down pine—now that tree gets to live on, instead of just rotting away.

Love it. Thanks for posting the inspiration link too.

I like that you’ve really run with the reverse taper vibe, makes it quite unique. Also very impressed how an inspired finish can transform the accessible timber choice. Thanks for sharing.

That’s just plain stunning. In a good way!

great looking table. how do you apply the india ink to ebonize the legs?

I used Speedball Super Black India Ink from Hobby Lobby. It was around $6. I used around half of the bottle to around 1 cup of water. Next time I will use the whole bottle as I had to do multiple coats to get it to the black in which I had envisioned. I’m thinking that if I use the whole bottle then it may not take as many cotes. Any way super easy and cheap way to get the ebony look. Also no need to raise the grain and then sand as you will raise the grain with the first coat anyway. This assuming that you will do multiple coats.

Love it. I love simple straight lines and this fits in with a flare. Made even better with recycled wood.

Not sure I am up to this challange, but it is so cool I may just have to give it a go. It would be a perfect chair table for my music listening corner.

Keep up the great stuff.
