Just finished this up over the weekend. Qtr Sawn R Oak. The accent is bloodwood. First time I've used bloodwood; I rather like it. I made the legs Qswn on all sides by veineering strips to the flatsawn sides. And of course the top is copper. Used amonia, vinegar and rocksalt to form the patina. This time I sealed the top with poly, which I hope will fix the colors better. I made a table very similar to this one last year. I put a wax finish on the copper that time (per someones advise on the internet) but the color eventually darkened. Anyhoo, it's 38"x44"x18" It is a 21st birthday gift for my son. Another thing that I will remember about this table is that I set off a sawstop when I went to trim the top It turns out copper is a great conductor! who knew Cheers, Barry
