Finally finished

[Monty]

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]About this time last year, my daughter asked if I could make two end tables to match the coffee table I made for her several years ago (first picts) and have them finished by her husbands birthday the end of August. I told her "about the end of August next year". Well, I delivered them today (with about 28 days to spare).
I started back in April milling the wood from an ash tree that I cut down from our back yard several years ago (third and fourth picts). It was the only tree on our property when we bought the property about 28 years ago.
The last picts are of the end tables. I finished inlaying the tile today and delivered the tables this evening.[/FONT]

Those really look good. I love Ash, too. Did you giftwrap them?

NTGJ! The ash on the coffee table has a lovely figure, I can see why she wanted to have a matching set of end tables.

Fine looking endtables, Mannie! I'm sure she loved them! True heirlooms.
