Another stunning masterpiece! I thought this post was going to be about the base - until I saw the top. Wow.
Beautiful work.  Top is really amazing.   The legs are beyond seeing how they would be done.

What inspirational workmanship! Do you ever take any in-progress photos (or videos) of your projects? It would be enlightening to see how you carved the base, for example.
I really love the organic nature of the base. Amazing work.
Another great work, I really love the way you did those leaves on the trees!

Very fluid! Your attention to form is outstanding!

Congrats on getting your long table into the "Gallery" section of FWW!

It must have been very self-reassuring as that base took shape, and you said to yourself, ya, this is going to be pretty badass.

Don’t know how I missed this one Dennis. 

I’m starting to get interested in marquetry and if you gave a class in it I definitely would attend, if I lived near you. 

The carving looks great and you finished the mahogany to fine finish. Lots of sanding?

WOW!  That is so remarkable.  Top notch workmanship.

Anything I could say trying to applaud this would be an understatement and bordering on insult.
Dennis,

I am always amazed by your projects.  Nicely done.

Not really my style but the top is beautiful and unique and the rest very well done.
