Paul these are beautiful! I love the ebonizing detail and the veneer you choose. The blog gave great detail in how you did it. Thanks for sharing your expertise.

They came out fantastic Paul.
So much better than the originals. The burl on the top is outstanding.
Thanks for all the details.

Paul,

Those are OUTSTANDING! No wonder she was delighted!

Everything about the tables is spectacular — your design, the choice of veneers, and the craftsmanship.

Thanks for sharing your journey.

Outstanding Paul! Interesting without a doubt.
Thanks for blogging the build here as well. The “Other Site” is so slow to load anymore.

Involve your kids and grandkids. They'll love you for it!

Very nice work Paul, They are so much nicer than the original one’s but I guess that was the whole point. The top looks beautiful with that burl.

That’s some fantastic work. Those aprons are some of the coolest I have ever seen.

I found a neat “trick” to prevent the exotics from color shifting. I like to apply watco teak oil before finishing. It’s basically danish oil but with with UV inhibitors. I’ve french polished right over it and it works similar to BLO as a padding oil for the first coat.
