Well, except for the finish! I'll let the topcoat cure for a couple of weeks and try my first rubout then. Couldn't resist sticking it in the family room for a look-see though. It was kinda hard to get a good pic of the beautiful (IMO) grain of this Sapelle top at night. There are two stretchers of oak underneath the top that are screwed into my welded steel legs. I drilled some slots (PITA) into the stretchers. I put threaded wood inserts in the underside of the top with bolts going through the stretcher slots and into them. I liked the wood stretcher idea because it gave the top a bit of a 'floating' look. This is my favorite project in my 3 month WW career. It allowed me some metal 'play' and a design that is much more my taste (contemporary, Euro) than some of the others I had tried. Probably not too impressive for the average WW because of the lack of embellishment and fancy joinery, but it fits me. Thanks for looking!
p.s. - I think I'll try some of that 'fancy' joinery on my next project, after the Festool Domi gets here! 2 more weeks! :-D
