That's a gorgeous table. You did an excellent job.
Making the top out of only two boards and book matched no less.
It doesn't get any better than that!
Wow, you did some beautiful boards justice with that. Bravo, brilliantly executed!

I love it! It’s a piece of art! I am starting to mill my walnut to get an idea of grain patterns. I got a very good deal on walnut. My ruff cut was about 1 1/8 thick. By the time I get to the finished thickness I am afraid I’ll end up with ¾. I’m concerned it will be too thin to stay flat like yours. I’ve never worked with walnut or glued up that wide of surface of 48”. I have the option of veneer but the wife would like solid. I would love to do it like yours.
Could you tell us the finishing process used?
I used Waterlox with sanding with 600 grit between coats. Then rubbed it out with 0000 steel wool and wax.
Great look. Nice base also.
Very nicely done. I would be proud of that.
