Some baseboards would finish off that room nicely

That's fantastic, Bill. I was a little disappointed to see so little spalting throughout the build, but you can definitely see it on the bench. Spalted and Ambrosia is fantastic stuff, and not cheap. I really dig that countersunk mortise he used for the leg where the stretcher connects.
Ambrosia is actually really cool, too. It's caused by infestations of Ambrosia Beetles burrowing through the wood, leaving behind the figures and holes. It's hard to find good Ambrosia that's not ruined.

We didn't want too much spalting on the top itself as it would have been a bit too busy for our tastes (I've got some cutting boards which are spalted like crazy).. Lots of holes in the top as well, kinda hard to get good pics of them with the phone.
Love the table! Some baseboards would finish off that room nicely
I know right? lol! I gotta bring in the baseboards this week for paint, nothing will ever dry outside with these temps. I'm hoping to get them installed in the next few days.

Understandable. Next time you get something custom built, check in to Curly Maple. That stuff is downright incredible. It looks 3 dimensional.
It's kind of funny in humans and animals, we look for symmetry and perfection for what "beauty" means, but in woods, the most beautiful ones are actually the most defective.

My buddy had a real hard time putting stain on this table, he probably asked us a half a dozen times if we just wanted to stick with poly to preserve all the fine little details
We've got some really nice details on the top. I'll break out the DSLR and grab some better pics when the sunlight cooperates.

Hah, it's funny you mention that. My first thought was "He stained Ambrosia and Spalted Maple? Noooooo :(" It still looks great, but I'm also a fan of preserving the color of those :P
Here's something special.. Spalted Curly Maple
Notice how thin it is? It's obviously been cut for veneering since it's so expensive lol

That Curly Maple is crazy, I think I'd get epilepsy if I looked at it too long

No way we'd ever been able to get something like this if we didn't tear down a bunch of walls during our reno.

Aside from the 4 meals we have on it per year it doubles up as a solid newborn cloth stand, breast pump equipment, bottles, and some receipts.
As underused and impractical dining areas/tables are in general, I still love a beautiful table like this.

I *hope* this becomes the homework, sit around and socialize, whatever table. We like to sit around the island, but that's a max of 4 people.

Beautiful table. What are you going to do for chairs? Might be difficult to match/compliment that table.
I want some big tufted wingback chairs on each end, then some nice fabric ones down the side. We'll see though, she does the interior decorating crap, and usually shoots down my ideas pretty quick

Is the finish on it durable? One thing I hate about my teak table is that you can't write on a piece of paper without making imprints on the table.

Yeah, it should be. It's got 3 coats of satin poly on it.

Pretty sure he did 2 coats of wood conditioner (So that stain didn't blotch the wood), 1 stain coat and 3 coats of satin poly (All oil based). Sanded in between each coat of poly as well.
