There is a lot of figure in there, can't wait to see it pop.

First foray into furniture building. Learned some things I would do differently, but I think it turned out ok! Wife wanted a coffee table. She gets a coffee table!
This is a fantastic piece. It has everything I enjoy looking at. Contrasting species of wood, Solid classic joinery and attention to detail. Well done sir, well done.
Your great grand daughter will enjoy it one day too.Thanks guys. This was a really fun project and I learned a lot from it. It was great seeing how much my daughter liked it. And for some reason every time we go to a store she thinks she needs new jewelry. A can of worms has been opened!
Nice design.Great looking projects in here. Once I get my shop back from all the kids toys covering my tools I need to start building again. This was the last item I built for the house.

Yes I did. It was all made from a pallet of Honduran Mahogany shorts I picked up probably 10 years ago. I got 230 BF of it for $350. The place selling it had a pallet of 90 BF shorts but threw in the rest since he just wanted to clear the space. I still have some under my deck.I like it! Did you make the crown molding?

Honduran is hard to come by these days and when you find it, it ain't cheap! I went looking for some for a tabletop and it was running $14/ft. I passed
Excellent job on the crown, BTW
Yep. Since I only have a 6" jointer I cannot really utilize wider boards and I don't usually need anything over 4' in length so a bunch of shorts was a cant pass up deal.
You can do up to 12" - if you're brave and pull the guard. What I'll do for stuff up to 8" is run it through on one side until that 6",is flat, leaving essentially a 6" wide shallow rabbet. Then take a 6" piece of ply or mdf the length of the board or longer and set it in the rabbet. Then you can run the stack through the planer to get the other side flat. When that's done flip it and finish up.
Anything wider I'll either flip end for end at the jointer or grab the jack plane and winding sticks.
I won't run it without the guard. Too risky.
Once I get a new shop I'm sprinting for a 12" aircraft carrier sized jointer!
Ha! I had a feeling you were gonna do that. I would have too:act-up:A quick preview:
Was he planning on making acoustic guitar bodies with it? I like the warmth of HM on an acoustic, it's a common wood used by luthiers.Yes I did.
