Heckuva nice table top. Nothing but the best for these two. Notice it seems to be made from two halves, mirror image of each other. It’s too wide to be one log.

My bar top is made about the same way. It started off as two slabs of fiddle back Koa 13’ long. I cut four feet off one end of each to make the end legs, then joined the inside edges to give it the mirror image. Wound up being about 4 feet wide and 9 feet long, and two inches thick.

Import and harvesting restrictions being what they are now both the Padauk and Koa would be really tough to come up with .

The table. Not sure if its mirror image or bookmatched, and I do not know if its a veneer or solid, but expensive either way. I have an unused piece of 2” x 2” koa wood. I think I just bought it to see what it looked like.
