      Very nice. I myself just started a coffee table that I've been putting off now for about 6 months or so. I just hope mine is half as nice looking as yours. I really like the color. Sharp!

        That looks great! Did you etch the glass? What plan did you use? I think that's a really nice table.

            i did not etch the glass, i bought it. i made my own plans based off of the glass dimensions.

                  Kyle,

                  Very nice looking coffee table. Great job! You've definitely made your grandpa proud! I am sure he is bragging to his friends up there.

                  Thanks for sharing!

                    That looks great Kyle.

                    Monte was always making kind comments about the final projects that people would post, I'm sure he would have loved it and been very proud of you.

                          Fantastic use of some beautiful wood, Kyle. If Monte and my FIL have met up, I'm sure Harold is getting a full dose of bragging right now!

                              Kyle, that is great work and I know Monte would be proud of you. That wood looks a lot like walnut.
