Very nice! Did you make the bench as well?

-- Pete

A little to nice a table to be outdoor…very nice work

Great table, Dorje. It look good with the bench.

wow…all of your work is outstanding—-but I gotta say this is really awesome…very nice!!!

-- Matt, Napa, CA...fun is beautiful...just trying to have some fun...

Very sweet; nice lines and the Jatoba is gorgeous. I hear that is a really good wood for outdoors, etc… Should hold up well.

Great job.

Gorgeous table Dorje! I didn’t see or read the blog until I saw the project post. Of course I had to go back a read the blog which was also great. The Jatoba is sure beautiful and your craftsmanship does it justice.

Beautiful work Dorje! how did you happen upon the finish formula? is the Jatoba very heavy as compared to let’s say White Oak?

-- Chris

Wow, that’s visually very appealing. Nice work!

-- Eric at http://adventuresinwoodworking.com

That is too nice a build for a table that is sitting outside. Nice work!

-- Brian, Lebanon PA, If you aren’t having fun doing it, find something else to do.

What a great table, Dorje. That is some really beautiful wood. It’s nice to know that I’m not the only one who lets his projects lay around for awhile. I can only hope that mine turn out as nice when I do finish them.
Once again another great looking project.

Dorje,

This is a nice table that compliments the bench well. I like your design and choice of wood. Jatoba is a pretty wood but it is hard on the blades.

thanks for the post.

-- With God's help all things are possible- even woodworking. Woodworking is not just a hobby, it is an (expletive deleted) expensive hobby.

Wish I could come over for an iced tea (or mocha)! Beautiful workmanship as always.

Nice outdoor table. I have never heard of Jatoba wood before, but it has a very good color to it.

-- Steve-o

Thanks All!

Chris – on the finish formula…a little of this and a little of that…nothing measured…roughly a third of each, probably a bit more of the oils than the spirits. The Jatoba is heavy/dense, less porous than white oak, and about twice as hard. Oak has a 1300 lbf Janka hardness, while Jatoba is at 2350-2600 lbf. It was not that fun to work.

Douglas – you should be here! But no, you had to get new tools instead…

Dorje,

Very beautiful set, WELL DONE. I love the finished color! ! ! !

I finally got my projects posted.

Thanks for yours.

=( Gotta wait till they get those fuel prices down… And yes – naked tool avarice is in evidence as well.

What a great match to the bench! Let me know how your teak oil finish holds up in the sunshine. I put a walnut oil finish on a cedar trellis I made and after two years in the sun, it has gone pretty dark.

nice one dorje. I don’t know how i missed this.

Very nice bench set. I really like both pieces.

The Jatoba table looks very beautiful in combination with the bench. Looks perfect in all respect. Thanks for the nice photos

Dorje,

Just getting around to see this one. Very nice work on the table!

-- Mark, Webster New York, Visit my website at http://thecraftsmanspath.com

The craftsmanship is very crisp. The design is great, it has a mid-century modern feel to it. The balance and proportions are perfect.

I really love this piece. Very classy, but I wouldn’t expect anything less from you.

Dorje,
Beautiful job, the design looks great. It sure goes great with the bench.
And were even having weather nice enough that you can enjoy it.

Beatiful table…I can imagine sitting around watching the Seattle summer sunset around 10:00 PM. Love your work my friend.

I saw this piece in person—very beautiful work. :)

Awesome table. I’ve been thinking of building something like it. Thanks for the inspiration.
