Just Lovely
This looks beautiful. I love the Waterlox finish. What state do you live in and where do your purchase your Walnut lumber?

This is great. Do you have plans for this table? I'd love to build a real hardwood media center.
Thank you.

Wow. Evidently ana-white.com stopped telling me I was getting comments on my projects, lol. For anyone still interested:
I live in upstate South Carolina. I get my black walnut at Woodcraft, which, while pricey, is incredibly close to my house and their customer service is awesome, so I don't mind the cost. I've tried other lumber yards in the area and they consistently tell me I won't be able to find black walnut over 10" wide, but Woodcraft had the 12" piece for this media console and the 22" slab I used for my coffee table.
I do not have drawn up plans for this table. This was my first free-form project I attempted without detailed plans. The pieces were all hand cut from rough lumber, so nothing has specific sizes, but if you are still intersted in plans, send me a message and I can draw up some.
