Myself and a friend of mine made this Huon pine and Blackwood coffee table. He made the top out of a single slab of Huon pine which had to have three butterfly or "bowtie" joints put in as you can see in the picture above because there were three long cracks developing in one end. I made the turned Blackwood legs and then fitted them with the help of our teacher. It was such a nice piece that rather than oiling it with linseed oil as we would usually in our class, we thought we'd get it professionally spray varnished which turned out to be well worth-while because the finish is extremely nice and although it cost about $100 we sold the whole table for $550, which made us both happy chappies. So overall a very good project, very pleased with it.
