A Star is Born

We’ve (I say we, I really mean me) have started on a new dining table. We’re building it out of reclaimed two by fours and will have a Baha’i star inlaid (using a piece burl wood we had laying around) in the center(ish) of the table. Here is a photo of the table after we (I) assembled it but before we placed the star into the table top.



You can see the star sitting on top of the table; it’s about eight inches across (the star not the table). The table is roughly fifty inches by thirty inches, and will be about seventeen inches tall when finished. We are planning on sitting on the floor with a zafu as a cushion, that’s why the table is so low. The table has sharp corners in this photo, but we are planning on curving the sides and rounding everything out before we are finished.
