That's really nice. Looking at the elevation view first where all of that fine straight grain looks really sharp/clean, then the second pic.....bam. That top is a shock. Quite the contrast. The floating flat-sawn slab look is great.
Wow! Having agreed with Crazyraceguy comment. Looked at the first image, and wasn't sure how to put into words what I thought. Then settled on very handsome, slightly hunky chunky - manly??? (Does it take after yourself? If so, bet the women in the household really love it...) Impressive.
Then looked at the second image - blown away.
Just curious - what grits used, and, what finish used?

I love what you've built. The sides look like oak? Remarkable. Great stuff.

I would guess QSWO for the base and walnut and epoxy resin on the top. The sap/heart contrast of air-dried walnut and a somewhat of a river-table style with the live edges covered and squared off.CeeJay said:

Hello all. The top is camphor. A local Rockler had the board which caught my eye, and I wanted to figure out how to feature its beauty.
The top was sanded to 800 grit (150, 180, 220, 280, 380, 500, 800) and the whole piece was finished with Odie's Oil and Odie's Wood Butter. The rest of the wood is white oak, but the drawer box itself is veneered baltic birch (the veneer was shop-cut from a piece of quarter-sawn white oak). Where it doesn't show (inside the drawer box) the veneer is poplar. The drawer handles are painted maple.

Oh, the drawer false fronts are quarter sawn white oak. The rest is just white oak I got by picking through the wood pile and cutting it to my advantage.
