Wow Steve thats impressive, I dont know much about the lasers but it looks like they are amazing tools. So to you and everyone else what about incorporating a maple or similar top? Maybe a frame and panel top where the panel is maple? Thinking out loud here. Also the only reason I was using Walnut was I happen to have a nice 60 year old plank about 12" wide and 6' long that I have been hoarding for some time now. Since we have yet to begin we are not locked into anything yet.
Deweys mug on the top? Hhmmm LOL
If at first you don't succeed, look in the trash for the instructions.
