The boss has been after me for some time for a new dining room table she has designed and so I finally got to it. Of course now she needs a coffee table and two end tables to match ?!? I finally found a source for the 12/4 and 16\4 alder for the legs. The outside wrap of the frame is Honduran mahogany. Also finished another picture frame which is alder and padauk.

Great ones! If my 'boss' sees this, she'd want exactly the same!

I ordered the glass at 5/8 with the bevel. I was concerned about the fact that it is only supported on the edges.

Totally inadequate comment, but Very Nice Work!!!

At 5/8" I doubt you need to be concerned with support. Now just do not drop a pointed, heavy object on to it.

The other concern and reasoning for the 5/8 was the thickness of the glass at the edge after they did the beveling
