Joe, That table was a joint effort. your wood supplier knew you wood have the immagination and the skill to make something significant with that piece of Spalted pecan. He knew that piece was going into good hands when he showed it to you. He as absolutely on the money. You and Eric did the rest. You have depicted a moment in history, of not only Texas, but of our entire nation. I was as moved as the first lady you mentioned. The more I looked at the pics, the more moved I became. Had I been at the show, I would have been affected the same way. I am still moved, but have recovered enuf that I can now say a bit more than "WOW!". The knife thru the center was a note of genius. A first attempt at iron work shows you must have been looking over Granpa's shoulder at least once in a while. He must have been standing behind you as you worked on, at least, that part of the project. I could go on and on here, but i am way behind schedule for my day. Rain coming and leaves to move. I have bookmarked this thread for future inspiration.
I still say "WOW!"
Tinker
