I have this incredible friend.... who came on the boat and didn’t like the look of the table he made....said it was too plain....I had a ton of compliments on it...
But he said he was making another.... here is the other..not done yet but a work in progress ... just incredible...

Nice. The breadboard ends are a nice touch and should encourage it to remain flat over time.

The black inlays look to be epoxy too, yes?
 
Gorgeous! Your friend has talent!

What's happening with the original table?
 
He does great work. Looks awsome.
 
Yes he uses epoxy to make the black lines.... he is a nut ...just loves to work with wood. He made a replica of my salon table below... I don’t know what I am going to do with the current table.
I am not sure if the coating is epoxy....he usually makes me epoxy things.... so I might be fired

Yes he is in Indy... but he is an odd duck and usually won’t make stuff to sell.... he made a beautiful bourbon cabinet for himself he was offered $10k and wouldn’t take it... he won’t take money from me... I am going to try to get him on the boat this weekend ...if he is making replacements for my table he might be getting bored :)

I've got an odd shaped cockpit table. Tell him if he wants to go on Lake Michigan - bourbon is on me!

Let him know he could make a fortune just replicating those salon tables alone....lol. Looks better than factory!

I did tell him...he made 5 of these salon tables before he was satisfied...he said he would not make another
 
I couldn’t get him on the boat this weekend... of all places he is going to Missouri for an October fest party.... next time I see him I’ll ask if he will do stranger work
 
Does anyone else see the old man's face in the grain of the center board? I see what also looks like the face of a monkey just above and to the left of the face. and no I have not been drinking... much that is. The workmanship is incredible. I so appreciate that kind of talent, I wish I was born with the patience it takes to do that level of work.

Let us know what he says about stranger work. Beautiful work. Sign me up for one of those too, if he says yes....
