I was asked to build a " contemporary " 3 piece wooden counter top .. 2 large pieces are Zebra and there is a centre piece that is Black Walnut.
I am milling the longest piece, which will be 17" x 100" .. What a workout ..
Jointing the 3 boards was okay.. planing was terrible.. now I am sanding them prior to glue up ..
My shop reeks like pig manure.. I reek like pig manure.. Zebrano stinks.. I will post some pictures in a bit..

Above the boards are milled up .. I am trying to figure out the grain match ..
