Brian Dude!

Nice I have been wanting to do a piece with that wood combo. That is going to look fantastic when finished. What are you going to finish it with?

Thanks man. I think the tone of the two woods are going to be nice with finish on them, it will be finished with tried and true oil varnish. I might add a aluminum bar stock spreader between the legs.
In my new shop I’m trying to do everything eco friendly as possible hence the finish. I know the wood is not certified I just had it as left overs. But all the future wood in the shop will be certified or salvaged.

thanks fritz, I used this finish on the simple desk post. I like it but its very labor intensive and expensive.

Love to see the before pix too …..Don’t you wish the Pheart color would stay true with finish applied to it ? Tell me about your design process . Did you just use every inch of Pheart that you had so there would be no waste and if so , is that why there is no overhang on the ends and sides of the tabletop or is it because you wanted to show as much of the Pheart as possible ? I do like this design , very unique indeed : )
