That's a beautiful table Del.. Good job..
Nice Del, as always.
Very nice, Del.

What is it about the South American woods? I've made several things with purpleheart (also Brazilian), and the stuff is really dense. I made a small plant stand, and almost split a gut hauling it out of the shop!
Very NICE, Del!

I have some Jatoba too... real heavy stuff... did you have any trouble milling the wood? ... beads n all the fine cuts?

Aren't they pretty heavy?

Should last a life-time!

Thank you for sharing...

Very nice Del. Hope whoever does the vacuuming appreciates that bottom shelf & avoids sideswiping it. A very handsome piece.

Very nice work, I never had the opportunity to work with wood from South America. Sounds interesting, I'll have to give it a try
