Dutch,

Great build, sure your son is delighted!!  I hate doing large glue ups.  Have to get thicker lumber so you can make them flat and square.  Looks like a great sander your friend has, a good guy to know.  The wood grain looks very nice.

Just checked my usual wood store and $14.25 for 6/4 $15.00 for 8/4.  But you bought enough that I would have gone to Hood Distributing and the $12.50 that Lazyman mentioned would be in the ball park.  With Hood you have to buy complete boards and I usually have a $50 piece of lumber left over.

Our son's wife wants me to make her a mid-century modern coffee table, also walnut, but surely not as much lumber.
