Very nice table. I made a couple of these about 15 or more years ago, one for a neighbor who was retiring and one I still have in my house. I used mahogany for the base and rosewood and pearwood for the playing suface. It had some nice challenges, especially the board. I think your playing surface pieces are seperated with dowels but it is hard to see on the photo. I know it is very rewarding to make pieces like this and your friend is very lucky to have such a tribute to your friendship.
krob; thanks for the comment, yes this was a challenge, especially the board. yes the playing surface is seperated with dowels. thanks again.
