Sorry about the weird angle. It's so shiny I was having a hard time finding a place without glare:)

Table!
Our table is nearly done! It just needs a gloss coat over the top... which is no trivial thing, and will have to wait for the next hot week, as it needs to cure in 70+ degrees for a few days. Things learned: we make cool things, hardwood tongue and groove is cool to work with, and measuring twice is NOT SUFFICIENT.

Making a new table
Phase 1
Thanks to Victor Barranco for the turn-a-hardwood-floor-into-a-table idea. We bought 42 square feet of Brazilian Koa (also called tigerwood) flooring that is about to become our dining room table. Our old one is cracked an falling apart. Sometime soon, when you come to our house for gastronomic experimentation, you won't have to worry about the table falling out from under your plate.
In case anyone is wondering what the square hole is, that's from when we were still contemplating inlaying tiles for place-settings.
