It took me quite a while to complete this project, I only get maybe 3 days a month in the shop lately.  The slab is pecan, 135 year old pecan tree felled by a 2013 flood on the San Marcos River in the Texas Hill Country.  The log had begun to splat which provided some great color but the slab is rock solid.

The base is ebonized poplar, using the Brian Boggs method.  My goal was to make the base look like steel.  

I'm having some professional photos done soon (by my daughter) and I'll update again here.

Beautiful table. Love the color of the pecan! How long and wide is it?

There are two theories to arguing with a woman... neither works.

I think if I built that I would just sit there and admire that slab of Pecan and not use the table.

Great looking table and I really like the metal look of the ebonized base.

The dimensions are 9-ft 3-in long, 43-in and 33-in wide, and 3-in thick.

For some reason photos are giving me trouble today, here is the other photo:

Very nice. Love the colors of that pecan.

I have some really nice cherry in the shed, and finally got the LOML to agree to a new dinning table. She is ok with the cherry as long as it has some sort of trestle base. I was thinking about ebonized ash. but may consider poplar now. Going to have to look up the process.

Looks great. Love the shape of the base. Please tell me that there are some feet underneath it or something to keep those long flats from finding every bump in the floor.
