Hello friends,
A while ago I took a poll on three projects to build and a hall table was picked by my North Carolina Woodworker friends. It has been a long time coming but I finally picked up the wood from a good friend in Vermont (we were deployed in Afghanistan in 05) it is Tiger Maple from a tree that he took down on his 15 acres of land. I am going to start this next week and will post progress as I get farther.
Here is a link to the original post.

I was going to try and acquire ebony for the black accents, but will use homestead trans-fast dye to ebonize the accent pieces and legs.
