It really turned out nice Allen! One day (if I feel brave) I'll post photos of the buffet I built. Yours turned out much better!

Good Job, Allen. It's obvious that you've moved up several more rungs on the skill ladder, so keep up the good work. Isn't learning FUN?

Very nice work Allen. You don't give yourself enough credit. Ilove the finish and the wood grain on the rail in your pictures. Can't wait to follow along on the chairs.

started milling up some wood for the chairs, and one or two other little things.
I came across this piece of wood I was about to cut down to size, and unless its a piece of 100 year old mahogany, I have no clue what it is..
Im guessing its walnut?
I never bought walnut, only had one 3 inch by 36 inch piece, and Ive never seen rough walnut, nor planed walnut in person until someone finishes it.(second pic, thats mahogany on top, all the wood I planed today looked almost identical, not this piece)

Allen I have literally run out of words to say to you regarding your work and the effort you put in. I just keep thinking to myself "man Allens a real inspiration to me."
To see this piece next to the table and know its made of solid wood wow.
I told my wife and then said and we are sitting here with this fake wood rubbish. Actually wanted to cut the table up and burn it. But my day will come.
Thanks for all your posts. I appreciate your style in more ways that can be said.

thankyou sir for your very kind words.
Although not perfect, we enjoy the table alot, something about knowing hey, I built this, with all its defects, I learned alot from that build.
