Coffee Bench Project Started

I'm about to cut up this incredible hunk of 1 1/2" thick bubinga. I need two pieces 15" x 50"... no problem, the slab is 26" x 132". I'll have some left over, shucks.

This is the biggest, heaviest and most expensive single piece of wood I've ever had in my shop. I got it at Exotic Woods in Burlington where it was handled with a forklift.

The black parts of the project (see model) are hard maple dyed black with printer ink.

The idea is that the four rectangular coffee tables can be carted around the client's loft and used as benches too, in various arrangements.

This will be gooooood.
