Allow me to respond to a few enteries:
Oldtool - Thanks. Yes, those pegs add a nice touch to G&G designs. They are a labor of love, but well worth the effort. Thanks again...
987Ron - Thank you for noticing the tile shelf. The wife wanted a shelf. I suggested wood. She strongly hinted that tile would be a unique touch. Good thing I listened. Sometimes, Momma knows best! Again, Thank You...
BB1 - Thanks for the question. Yeah, these large format tiles (2ft x 4ft) are pretty thick. The Porcelin tile for this project is 3/8 inch thick. Each individual tile weighs 36 LBS. After trimming to size, the tile for the top weighed in at 27 LBS. In fact, the total weight for the top was 54 LBS! It's kind of a beast. Good thing I beefed-up rest of the design to support the load. Thanks again for the question and the kind comments...
