    Eli,
    Looks great, reminds me of the old days. That was the only type of work I did 30 years ago, no counter tops then just furniture.
    Looking forward to more pics.

    Eli, that looks like it’s coming out beautiful. Is it to a spec or your design?

    ti is my design i had a little input from the customer on what she wanted and i drew it up. this particular customer found us on stone advice and we did a granite top for her in brushed abs black with a drain board. she had a tiger maple hutch in her home that i commented on we got into a conversation and i ended up doing this table for her. my roots are in cabinet making and furniture making. thats how i got into the counter top industry first with laminate and solid surface and than on to engineered stone and granite and every thing else by being versatile in the materials i work with i find all kinds of work that normally i would never get to do

    more pics to come later

    Looks like Eli has got one up on me with this table thing.  If I don’t hurry I will end up doing inlays and rosettes.

    Mom, don’t get any bright ideas.

    That is beautiful, I didnt think it was burled wood when I looked at it. It almost looked like Formica mica series (thye swirly stuff). No matter what it is, thats one handsome piece of work.

    Kudos,

    Lenny

    its for a customer it was commishiond i do this kind of work all the time if your interested let me know each one i build is slightly diffrent so im not making duplicates the price range on this top 30″ is rite around $900 the wood cost $400 it takes a few weeks to make one because i fit it in around other work if you want one let me know

    that just the top if you want a base i would have to figure a price in this case i am building the top to go an an existing base its a chrismas gift for her husband
