Thank you Glen , Yes it was an idea rolling around in my head figured would be cool to do straight clean lines
modern type feel then as I was working on it thought the flat grain top was a nice touch , sold it in a heart beat :)
The boys quality control doing the tipping test for me. ha ha

Great Job. Legs and bench must have been a lot of work but look fantastic!

Thank you , well you know all in the mind set , I let the machines work on this one – was like 7’
cutting board glue ups 30” wide ;) planer and thickness sander with a lot of light passes and taking time to do straight glue ups was not bad.
milled built and finished in under 60 hours aka one week.
Love your Portuguese proverb lol :)

Forgot to ask, Dan -what did you do to join the table top or bench top to the legs? I’m already scheming to make my own ;)

Glen, wood l shaped cleats that attach to top with platinum wood screws “by hand” and fit into dedicated
slots on the shirt /base components . a tip : I used “B grade” walnut to get the variance in colour on the base and benches. is a bit cheaper two ;) Cherry would work nicely I think as well

gorgeous, what did you use for finish? I also really like the idea of b grade walnut, the lights contrast very nicely with the darks, while maintaining the same material throughout.
no shop is complete without a shop dog.
