    Default Solid Wenge Table

    Here are some pictures of the table, I just finished making.

    The chairs are not the finished chairs that I will be using. (Have not started the chairs yet.)

    All made from 220mm X 50mm Solid Wenge.

    Big and expensive Eastwing, I priced larger section of wenge a while back and it was about $13,000 per cube. Very sweet looking table though.

    Very nice work! It's beautiful. What finish did you use? I really like it.
    When all is said and done, there is usually a whole lot more said than done.

    Great work. I like it. However, on my monitor the colour does not look like wenge.

    I have a small piece of Wenge in the shed too.

    Seriously, I hope that you've kept the off-cuts. The are great for making plugs, inlays and door knobs.

    Nice table my friend.

    That is a really elegant table.

    What thickness did you end up with for the top and how did you bring it down to that thickness.
    Your poor thicknesser!
