Finally finished the sofa table
I've been working on this for several months, along with several other projects, it's finally finished. The top is lacewood, zebra wood trimmed in some really light hard maple and plain mahogany. The legs and aprons are figured mahogany trimmed in some more maple and some walnut scraps. I originaly planned to put some drawers in it, but opted out to keep it very simple.
Wife is happy with it.

Re: Finally finished the sofa table
Very, very nice, Martin!!! 
The figure in the mahogany coupled with the inlay really makes the top sparkle!!!! 
I can easily see how the LOYL is pleased.
Nice job,
Wayne

Simple? Simply beautiful
Gorgeous design and execution. The lacewood looks great!
Do you mind telling us about the finish?

Re: Finally finished the sofa table
Stunning piece Martin! That lacewood really pops that top and the banding is just right!

Re: Finally finished the sofa table
Very nice work. I like the design. Inlay makes the Lacewood really stand out and a great looking finish.

Re: Finally finished the sofa table
Thanks for the compliments folks.
Roger sanded with ros down to 400 grit, then simply tung oil rubbed back with steel wool after each coat, there are about 5 coats on the top 3 on the legs and apron. It could have used anothe couple of coats, but my wife wouldn't wait any longer.
This is the first lacewood I've worked with, the grain really pops with the tung oil.

That's beautiful, too beautiful to put things on it, which I am sure will be it's ultimate fate

Honestly Honey, that will cost around $100 $150 $200, and I need a few more tools.
