That beautiful Hickory just sat for a year until we finally figured out what we wanted. John drafted up the plans and then went to work.
It turned out beautiful. John estimates he spent about 100 hours on this thing. Planing the wood took the longest (he used a cheapy electric planer). I LOVE it. It's solid hickory from our yard...how cool is that!?!
We still have a small pile of hickory and I have my eye on a new coffee table, but until John gets a better planer those will have to wait.
