Very Nice Project Great Lines

-- Marty Ohio

Really nice, I like.
Coconut wood! New to me, but I’m going to look not it. Looks interesting. Easy to work?
Thanks for showing.

i never heard of coconut wood. Is that the same as Red Palm,? It looks like the red palm I’ve made some pens with, but those are ugh small pieces it’s hard to tell.

Love everything about this table,just grand ….BC

Coconut wood is not fun to work with for furniture making. This stuff was very splintery like working with a hand hull of toothpicks but,did look super cool when I was done. I put about 8 coats of lacquer on it sanding it down every coat in order to close up the pores of the wood. Fun but not something I world want to work with all the time or often. I did turn door panels into a $1500 piece of furniture though and save them from going to the landfill.

now, where do i order coconut wood from?

It looks like black palm to me. I have worked with it alot and it can be beautiful if you are ready too spend some time finishing. VERY porous! You did a great job and should be very proud.

Nice and simple, elegant, nice proportions. I like it

You’ve created a clean and timeless design. Contrast is beautiful.
Very very nice.

Wow. I love the combo of woods. I’ve never seen that before.

Very nice work.

I like that notch in the drawer, is the slider where the drawer fits also made of wood?

Could you post pictures of the inside part of the drawer bay?

thanks

ABSOLUTELY.BEAUTIFUL.WORK

The contrast is incredible! And, glad to know about the splinter-y nature of the wood.

I want to make a high chair for my granddaughter and was looking for something unique besides the cliche oak, or oak/walnut combos I see a lot of. Not knocking those woods by any means, just trying to find something different, unique and was looking at black palm, so the coconut is another option.

Interesting wood choice and I like the drawer pull as well.
