Very impressive work. I would recommend that you go ahead and tackle turning the pieces if you haven't already. The ones I did for my set were my first ever turning attempts and once you get the techniques down its really a lot of fun and rewarding as well. You've still got a beautiful table either way.
John, That is a very impressive table. I have a similar plan, however, I have only done the table top so far. I originally planned to do tapered legs, but changed my mind when I came up with the money for a lathe. As soon as I buy one I will begin the base of the table. My table top is made from Hickory. I used the heart wood for the darker pieces and then used a blonde shellac for the top. It's nice to see similar plans from other woodworkers.
