I like the design of the legs. How thick is the top? It looks like it is 2” thick! What type of wood are you making it out of?

the top is exactly 2 3/4” thick, it is some very old, very aged red oak and i’m exploring ways of putting black walnut breadboards on the endgrain. i came up with a very unique (i think) way of attaching the legs. there’s more detail in my blog under the red oak coffeetable project.
thanks for all the supportive comments. i’ve gotta get back to sanding.
