.....And now for my next trick......

[Warbird]

That is sure going to be a nice looking table!

[WDH]

Now that you have it attached to the box, it should not cup.  That is a great looking piece.

[Peter Drouin]

Nice

[Magicman]

I couldn't slide a playing card under it.....Pray for me!

I ain't praying for anyone that hides playing cards in cracks under the table.  I shoots them.

You've been watching to many Westerns. I don't cheats at cards.  :
Now shut up and deal.  :D

My one sister in law used to date a guy that thought he was a professional card player and wanted to get rich taking all the family members money. We always played dealers choice and just passed the deal around the table so everyone got a chance to deal and call the games they wanted. To be honest he was one of the worst card players I ever met.

One night he was particularly obnoxious so i decided to rent some room in his head. Before we began playing, I showed him about a half dozen card tricks that blew his mind. Then  said....Lets play and started to deal. He refused to play because he was convinced that i would deal dirty and cheat him out of his money. Have no idea what might give him that impression....just because I pulled 4 aces off the top of a deck that he shuffled 2 minutes earlier? Anyway he refused to play and left, which suited all of us just fine. 8)

Dog gone it! And if I had stuck with her, I could have had a bunch of FREE pens and FIREWOOD by now! 
We broke up but she said we could still be cousins.

Did someone mention cake? ;D

[POSTON WIDEHEAD]

I finally got it all put together. It rained all day so I spent the day in the shop.
The legs were a little aggravating but I finished them up, glued and screwed them in place.

All I have left now is to do some tweaking by hand sanding and I'll be ready for the Conditioner and then Poly.
I'll probably wait until the humidity drops before starting the finish.

The MC in the wood is now down to 10.3%.

It's beautiful.  Can't wait to see it with the poly on it.  I bet the pics won't do it justice.

[ron barnes]

Very nice.  Love it.

[WDH]

I see that you were not able to get all that coffee stain off, and you forgot and left the bark on it. ;D. 

Very beautiful  8).

[Magicman]

That slab is making an awesome piece of furniture.  I guess that it could be a bench or a table.

I'll take it off with the chainsaw.  :D

I've learned 2 things.
1. Its very easy to erase pencil marks off of Maple. 
2. I know where the terms "Vintage and Rustic" came from. When your woodworking talents are not as sharp as
    the talents of WDH, you just call all your mistakes "Vintage or Rustic". Then it'll sale!  :D

[WDH]

From what I hear, natural and rustic are "in".  That table would sell for a lot of $.  Don't you dare touch that bark!  That is what gives it appeal as well as the figure in the top.  You cannot find furniture like that.

Uh Ooooooooooo.......I better go get the Titebond.  ;D

[mesquite buckeye]

If you bring it out to the desert it will dry down just fine.

[drobertson]

Nice work with the maple, nice choice of wood as well,  should be a keeper! I like your technique on the framework,   david,  might lay off the java when finishing ;D 

[POSTON WIDEHEAD]

Last Pictures....... and I truly thank all of you for your compliments. THE END.

The seat next to the lamp must be your seat. It looks a little more "smooshed" than the others.  ;D

[WDH]

You are amazing.  Your benches and tables look so organic, like they are alive.  I have found some of them looking at me, and I have seen some walking.  I call you the "Bench Master".  Maybe when you come to see me, some of that "esprit d'animal" will rub off on me.  It might be more properly called "Les Esprits Animaux" in french.  However, I am not being proper.  Maybe Marcell will correct me.  This one seems like it is there sitting patiently for you to put stuff on it.  I love it!

[WDH]

Oh, I see in that second pic that it looks like some sweetgum has encroached into your living room.  I have some stuff that will take care of it, but you might have to spray it twice       ;D.
