Made from hard maple and Sapele.
29 deep and almost 60 long.This is my first decent sized top and I learned a lot.Started from rough lumber.
It was difficult to get the boards to all lay flat during glue up. I did the glue up in 2 steps. Two outside glue-ups at just under 15 (to fit in my planer) then the last was glueing them together. I made some cauls which definitely helped but still wasn't enough. I used biscuits too, which didn't help all that much either. I put biscuits cuts at the same time and when I went to flatten the first glue ups I sort of lost track and then the distance from the top to the biscuit was off so I had to plane them down a bit more. Next time I will pop those in later.A tricky part was the 60deg detail on the underside. I made that with a router bit I bought off of Amazon. It worked fine but I definitely need more practice with that. And more practice when it comes to sanding small areas at an angle.Sanded her down two 220grit and finished with Oldies wax stuff. Looks pretty good.Incase you are wondering, the base is a Steelcase AirTouch.
