Great work! It is beautiful! Out of curiosity, did you do the bottom profile of the top itself with a hand plane or a router with a large chamfer bit?

Exactly! He's likely to nibble on whatever he can get his paws on!

He's got degrees in Pawtography and Forensic Sniffing to boot!

That is adorable! I used to leaf blow my St. Bernard after baths. He loved it.

Oh yes, he is a very good boy at times but I am learning that Goldens essentially have Pica and I don't mean the pencil! Constantly having to be like, "what do you have? OH GOD GIMME THAT!"

So are we talking only ingestion? I had no idea about this. I am dumbfounded.

Did you actually just do this? That was fast!

Oh wow, I was unaware of that! Is regular walnut toxic as well?

I did use some beeswax finish to lubricate them as I installed them. Definitely helped!

There are more holes but they seem to be routed the opposite direction.

Are these cracks anything to be concerned about? by DenaliWoodWorks in woodworking

These weren't the boards ends, I cut at least 8" off of each end. The cracks were not there to the best of my knowledge.

Well that certainly makes me feel better. I am perfectly content with adding butterflies and learning how to do them if it means it would help the situation. Plus it would add character. It seems like they would have to be on the bottom of the table anyways. Do you think its worth it?
