Well wait out the delivery for those legs if necessary, if those are what you/wife have picked out and fit the look you're going for, a little delay will be worth it imo. Unless you can find similar domestic, but I highly doubt that. Again, congrats on the beautiful piece, i'm jealous.
Yeah I'm bought in at this point. No worries though it is worth the wait!!!

Yes, you did chose wisely. Agrams built a dining table for me in 2013. Still looks brand new. Solid as a rock and beautiful.SoulSlaveAG2005 said:BigHead 04 said:

Also a happy agrams customer. We have a dining table, coffee table, display table, floating shelf, and cutting board

a few osage items I dug pics up of
These boxes remind me of domino boxes. Would you have any interest in making a domino set and box out of some of your smaller extra wood pieces?
I could, but I feel the challenge with dominos would be to keep the grain from being unique and pieces distinguishable from their backside for players who regularly use the set. I would really want to find a piece of incredibly straight grain osage to make the pieces from if i was going to make it.
probably 95%+ of what i make is word-of-mouth through texags. While I enjoy woodworking, I don't think i would enjoy it nearly as much if it wasn't from some of the Ag's i've met by doing it. I think i have a broader A&M network through my woodworking than I do my day-job or from my classmates. I think just yesterday I was texting with 1 about hunting season coming up and our kids (his son got an incredible 150"+ typical 8 in youth season that's going to be hard to top), another about how the game was going, and another about something I can't recall.
Furniture and wood are just things that will come and go. The people and the enjoyment of the process are the reward (that, and my hunting budget is directly tied to $ i make from selling stuff, lol)

and to spam my own thread: a teaser shot of my next projects: will be a walnut bedroom set (2 nightstands, a dresser and queen bed).
these are the solid figured walnut panels for the bed. hope to get the headboard/footboard framed up today and the panels profiled.

I am just looking for Christmas gift for FIL who is well off and has everything. He probably wouldn't play bones with them much, it would just be a cool decoration piece if you will, so uniform dominoes wouldn't matter much.
If you arent interested then no hard feelings at all.
Maybe you've tried this, but next time try butting the two boards up you're joining, then run your track saw down the middle of the gap. Do this a few passes and you'll have perfectly jointed matched boards. I used this technique on an 120" table I was making and the joints came out perfect. Easy process too.
You can do the same thing on a good table saw. Mark the front and back side of your boards, rip one with the front side up, the next with the back side up, repeat if needed..........and a good sharp 60 tooth or better carbide blade. I wouldn't rely on it with a contractors saw but a with good heavy industrial saw of 3 hp or more it works fine. If the blade is the slightest bit off of 90 the opposite side cuts will match perfectly when you glue them all together with front side upWhitetail said:
