Just my kind of thing. Love it.

I have never done inlays, they are on the list. One thing yo might try in the future is a poured epoxy top. It’s a choice anyway.

Nice!

BLO is boiled linseed oil. Yes I said it correct $30 for both $15 a piece. I looked at the poured epoxy but to be honest I couldn’t justify the cost when I had the lacquer already but I do want to do a dinning room table and I think I am gonna use it for that. So the router sled I built was identical to the on that Offerman built and showed in fine woodworking magazine it’s on his web site. It worked amazing but I will say don’t make the mistake I did and forget to clap your guide boards down. I forgot and my router plunged into my work quick is why there is some epoxy filler in one end. I have other pics of the process if anyone would like to see but the site only lets you put up 6. Thanks for the comments and suggestions it’s one thing I love about this site.

Very cool table. I like the pecan with the inlays. I’m thinking the kids are going to love it to, just the right height to climb on. :)
Thanks for your service

Very nice, I have a few walnut slabs I have been saving for something similar just haven’t gotten around to it yet. I love how yours turned out.

Ha ha Levan I built this bad boy with both my sons in mind. If they break this then my house is not ment to have furniture at all. Total weight is 148.6 lbs. By the way I forgot to say it but I used Bloodwood leftover from another project for the hearts.

Awesome job here. Live edges are very nice.

Great work.
