    Default NSW Rosewood Dining Table

    Well, after 5 years of promising my better half a new dining table, I finally got around to building it. Now for the chairs - the REALLY fun bit

    It's all NSW rosewood. The top is two boards - almost bookmatched, but not quite. White laminated glass down the centre. The frame is of course M&T joints all round.

    Finish is many coats of Miniwax wipe on poly (satin), finished with Neil's wonderful wax as usual.

    Neither photo I'm altogether happy with, but the second one does a nice job of showing of the figure in the top, despite the reflection from the kitchen lights.

    Great table Darryl, you've obviously put some effort into working up the finish on it. I like the curved sides & the glass strip down the middle - makes all the difference.

    The glass really does add something, like the others the finish brings out the grain in the top superbly.

    Looks really great. The finish appears to be first class.

    I too like the contrast between the glass and timber.

    Well done.
