You've been sandbagging!

You disappoint buddy, but only for the deception. Both look awesome with all the details and accents! Tea box legs are some fine pieces (former pen blanks?) 
The inlays and exotics make this pair look like they belong in the 1800's. You need to make the matching table post-haste!
