Wow Wow Wow!!! Very beautiful coffee table.

But I wonder how many calls can be made from the top of it.

That question came up faster than I thought, I figured at least the fifth or sixth poster.

It would make some great looking calls, but looks excellent just the way it is.

Todd Rahm · March 30, 2009, 11:10:45 PM

Nicely done Sir!

Awesome looking piece of furniture John.

I love the base and unlike these spinners I was kinda thinking where you live about BTU's

Jimmie in Ky · March 31, 2009, 12:18:52 AM

Fantastic !! How did you mount it? Pocket screws or dowels? And is it made from alaskan yellow cedar?

I have a large maple piece I want to do the same thing with. I am spalting it before I mill it so I can get more color in it.Jimmie

Very well done John!

Now what kinda wood is that?

Did you find that slab or get it off someone?
I sure hope it's kiln dried.
Is the base, which BTW looks great too, of the same wood?

Coulter · March 31, 2009, 09:19:27 AM

Beautiful...I thought of all the calls that could be made from it too. But I have to say it looks much better right where you have it. I would love to make something like that someday...that would probably put the wife into shock though. I really have to make her something sometime soon

Great job on the table

I'm surprised Jim didn't want to come up and see it in person so he could try to dance on it
