I have no advice, but would love to see this table when you finish it. Having lived my whole adult life in Western Washington state, until four years ago, it seems odd but one of the few things I miss about my former home is the incredible density of the Doug Fir forests. Beautiful.

You are IKEA, at best.

I'm making a coffee table to go with my new sofa. I'm going to make it out of edge-grain Douglas fir. I made a small mockup and stained and poly'd it. I was blown away at how beautiful this wood finishes. Anyone else worked with this wood?

I once worked a lot with metals, but no time spent on woods.

I was in Western Washington in November for a week. My son in law drove my daughter and me and they went to Canada too since they have passports.

I corrected that spelling. You posted before I did.

I haven't made the coffee table yet (I've got a painting project going in the shop). Here's some of the things I've made. I work a lot with MDF as well. Great stuff for making cabinets.

The white cabinets with the butcher block tops I make for the apartment building that I manage.
