    That's just crazy! Congrats!

    And that looks like a Tesla ball over there by the wall.

    That is pretty cool. I have a soft spot for the industrial type look for furniture and have been picking up pieces from Boltz when I can.

    That looks amazing. Similar design aspects of 'The Brasserie' in New York with the single curved planes. Well done

    nice. the wood is called "ipê" actually....its a brasilian mahogany. Did you wax the crosscuts? Its indoors so its not vital but its recommended to prevent checking long-term.

    You are correct on the spelling. I went "phonetically" since I couldn't do the little "^".

    In order to get the moisture content down, a special box was made to dry the wood with a de-humidifier and fan. Didn't worry waxing the crosscuts because it was inside with plenty of air conditioning (great place to work during the install).:D

    nice! I was going to do my deck in it....my wife talked me out of it. 420 sq/ft of it on a second story was going to be a serious PITA. :D

    example on a deck:

    Ha Ha Ha.........
    Yep, all the woodworkers complained about it on this job. The stuff was everywhere. We have metal working tools, so it was a breeze for us.
    The tables we made were an afterthought. The epi wall was actually completely finished along with the floor, which were 3/8" thick blue quartz tile. The client wanted the tables to look like someone pealed the epi off the wall to create the table, to include running the epi into the blue quartz floor tile. The flooring guy had the real tough job.
