Just before I got more serious about frame building I built this.

Gasp. I'd cover it with a drop cloth before letting my friends in the house!!!
Fantastic.

Woodworking AND design skills. I hate you with a glacial calm.

beautiful.

Very cool. Black walnut and cherry? What did you use for a finish?

I like the way you carried the crease on the apron through the legs and the choice of contrasting wood for the legs and top panel. Nicely un-shiny too.

How is the top panel attached to the apron? It doesn't look like a floating panel; the edges look flush against the aprons. Perhaps it is veneered construction for stability?

Nice...

Wood is equally great to work with.
(I'm off on a steel tangent right now myself)

Keep makin' toothpicks out of logs,man! ;)

Walnut and Cherry. The finish is Danish Oil and wax.

The aprons have dados nearly their entire length that capture the substrate for the 1/4" thick sawn walnut veneer.

Newbie checking out this great set of forums, but had to say that's a gorgeous piece of woodworking and design skills. It works on so many levels. I hope you're still turning your hand to wood.

What Wibble ^ said! I also hope you're still working with wood, as well as steel.
