Custom knife collected by the customer at the beginning of the month. Absolutely love the curves on this one and didn't want it to leave me. They were both really pleased -especially as it was a surprise gift bought for her husband!

SLAB SELECTION.
.
.
Material selection for a dining table build has to be one of my favorite steps in the process.
.
With a finished product in mind (both me and customer) I have to meticulously check each and every board that's available from the suppliers and try to visualize what the grain patterns are going to be like once they're: 1. Organized into order 2. Planed and thickenessed 3. Cut, jointed and glued 4. Sanded 5. Oiled and protected. .
.
That's quite a lot to think about on day one of the build process when you're looking at rough sawn slabs and you never truly know untill you've planed them down. .
All I do know is: I'm happy to work with @the_wooper_residence who were available on the phone for photos and explanations of why I've chosen each board. This selection was over budget, but working with a customer who truly trusts my judgement and didn't want to compromise on the end result is something that gives me all the feels. After all, a dining table is an investment for you, your home and your future generations. Remember that when you buy a flat pack coffee table from Sweden.
I'm very excited for this build along with a Dark Iron shelving unit. .
