Outstanding. How did you finish the metal? It looks like it has an aged patina to it.
Have you ever done a big dining room table? One of these days, that's what I want to do for my house, but I've been back and forth on the legs. I never thought about metal. That might change everything!!!!

Yes sir, have done a few tables over the years and knowing your craftsmanship, easy job for you. The finish I got from another guy after a blood oath and 2 years of begging basically, but it involves Vinegar, which is pretty commonly used.....Hint I know your wood skills and wood would be easy for the legs, many ways of design, same with using steel, especially if built conservatively/ plain and simple. Most of the high-end live edge or custom wood tables you will find will usually have a simpler leg design to showcase the value (the wood), I have seen some of those tables priced at over 20k.

Beautiful!
I learned long ago you can't reason someone out of something they don't reason themselves into.

That's a sweet coffee table...Good JOB! And the finish on that metal is awesome! The first time I looked at it finished, I had to go back to your original post to make sure it was made out of metal and not wood. At first glance, I thought it was wood, lol. Got any idea how much it weighs?
Mmmm Hmmm
