Jim,
I wonder why I missed this fabulous feat! I’ve always loved these tables and you really delivered an exceptional table. I would not have guessed that it was poplar. My guess would have been cherry (which does make a good pie).
By now you’ve had a while to admire it and forget all the difficulties it caused you. You should smile with pride every time you look at such a fine accomplishment.
