My Dad (registered as "fitter" here) came by my sawmill and dragged a couple boards home to make a coffee table. A 24" wide curly maple slab and a piece of walnut....the pictures cannot do it justice, it's sharp.



Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

What OWW said.  It needs said again.  It is beyond sharp.  I like the design.

Very cool.   I hope he has some nice coasters. :D

Was that cut from a silver maple?  The one in your avatar?

I want a 24" wide curly maple slab :-\.  That's a beauty, Daren.  Your dad is a talented woodworker with a good eye for design! :)

I like that table. 8)  It is cool how the top looks like it is floating above the frame.

When I see a tree, I have to look at the bark and the leaves and the fruit, etc.  It is a real problem.  The first thing that I thought of when I saw that table with the floating top was what it must look like from the bottom up :).  I am intrigued by that floating top.

Walnut and maple make a real sweet couple ;D.

Superito el jobo - [3 years of Spanish in hs]  :D
I was the smartest 16 year old I ever knew.

Yo soy un muchacho.  (I visited moms spanish class one day when I was about 8 )

what a beautiful table.  The wood is really pretty, but your dad sure has an eye, Darin.  You gotta be proud of him.

OK!   Where's fitter?

Didn't have any Spanish in HS;  it wasn't offered;   we (including teachers/administrators) were so ignernt we didn't know we would need Spanish.  Duh.......the only Spanish I know is Sargeant Garcia, Zorro  and Elfago Baca.   :)

Hmmm...In Russian, that means "Sharp, very sharp.............., a sharp, sharp"  Was it intended to make sense ???

Ahhh, it's all coming together now.  By the way, Tom, I just remembered that soy means "I am", while tengo means "I have".  So your previous comment makes a lot more sense now :D.

I took 4 years of Spanish in HS, and am married to a Puerto Rican...I only remember the basics and of course regularly hear words that cannot be used on a family friendly forum   :-X . But I am smart enough to know the context in which they are used means trouble for me most often :D

 This is fitter. Hey guys thanks for all the comments. But lets face it, that piece of wood
is so nice, I could have set it on four cinder blocks and it still would have made a nice looking table.

Daren

Dude, look at you, your first post after 2 (?) years of  smiley_computer_monitor here.

But you didn't, you made a killer table (must have been fresh out of cinder blocks  :D, and improvised with walnut)

Fitter, this response is in English.  Not Spanish, not Portuguese, and not Russian.  "That is one awesome killer table.  Cinder blocks ???.   On a scale of 1 to 10, cinder blocks are a .0000001 and that table is a 10 ;D :D 8)".

I still would like to look at it from the bottom up (in case I ever wanted to try to build one) ::).

That is a beautiful table fitter. I'm like WDH though and would like, if not to much trouble, to see how you did the underside work. :)
