Before this I made a number of smaller tables and benches the Monticello Tulip Poplar II.  Each table has a top of Monticello Tulip Poplar II and black walnut skirt and legs.  Each bench has a top from the Tulip Poplar II, and hand-hewn black walnut legs split and worked out by the West Virginia artisan Jim Lakiotes.  I finish dried them here and fit them to the tops. 


All tables are 17 1/2" tall.  The finish is a conversion varnish, very tough and durable.
