beautiful top! Did you square up the boards or did they come that way? Very nice work and wonderful finish.
About how much did the walnut cost? Was it hard to saw through and drill?

We have a very friendly local hard wood store (hugh's hardwoods) who squared the boards for us. Bought a LOT of walnut for ~$800 but had enough left over for a large dog crate (posting pics of that soon). It wasn't hard to saw or drill but was a bear to sand.
