Had a great learning experience building this table for a friend.  The table was built out of walnut that had been claimed from a forest blow down.  I had to do a lot of glueup since all the boards 4/4 boards.  I learned how to make my own veneer to hide the board layers on the legs.  I pinned the table together with pieces from a discarded ebony board that had been given to me from an old wood working friend. The most rewarding part of the project though, was when I delivered the table.  My friend was teary-eyed and honestly, so was I.  It was like the table was meant to be made for her to sit in that very dining area.  A very rewarding experience for everyone!  I really appreciate Fine Woodworking magazine and the website for publishing such a great project.  More just like it please!
