Very nice table Lignum

at the risk of being thought picky — have you got the grain in the drawer bottom running the wrong way?
I understood the grain should run side to side with the panel fixed to the front so that any expansion and contraction was hidden by the drawer back

One of 3 mistakes. I x-cut it to small and had to swap it around. Their is a bit of room for expansion and with so many strips glued up, i hope it wont be a problem.

PS, notice i had it the correct way for the pic showing the components.

How true. Its got me thinking making a dinning table with a top like it (and maybe matching chairs) that would look awsome

Could be a little much for a WHOLE table. How about a strip down the middle like an inlayed table runner.

Very interesting piece.

I like it. Could match with everything in the house or nothing in the house?
