Really beautiful piece. I’ve seen a stretch of curly walnut before, but not that much.

This is a beautiful table. You picked a good choice of woods as well. I agree with the comments on the figured walnut. That is a gorgeous pattern.
Thanks for the post.

That is a nice looking table. First for my too, on that much figure in walnut. Are you sure that’s not some of that Chinaberry wood? :]

Dave:
You need to provide us, as we stand in awe, the finish information as well. I’ve never seen walnut looking like that, either, and as you obivously know finishing a gorgeous piece of wood can either detract or enhance the natural beauty. This is amazing!! Tell us! Tell us!

Man that’s gorgeous. How are you gonna use it though? I can’t see ever wanting to put anything on it and blocking the view of that awesome top.
