    Default Wood before steel

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

    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)

    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.
