My SIL gave me this lovely piece of Australian Lacewood for Xmas a couple of years ago. I love the wood, but as you can see, a pattern match in a glue up is very difficult. I tried every possible combination and this is the best I could find. The legs are red oak dyed with black aniline dye. The top got a number of coats of Danish Oil. The first couple of coats of oil were sanded to produce a slurry to fill the large pores in the Lacewood. The whole table then got a bunch of thin coats of poly. I still intend to "finish the finish" with rotten stone, etc. to further flatten the top.
I made this table when I had first heard of the Golden Rectangle. [1 x 1.61803398875] I used the GR on as many dimensions as I could.
The legs are tapered in the inner sides to give the table a delicate look. My wife calls the table "the giraffe", as a result.
The top is actually 1" thick. I beveled the underside to make it look more delicate.
