11/12/2008 I knew this was going to be a long one. We're in the home stretch now. We have fabricated all the brass details, gotten the final finish sample approved, completed the joinery and are underway on the finishing. We decided to delay the leather work until all the construction work was completed and we could finish all the wood at the same time, even though it meant that the leather work would delay the delivery of the table. It just seemed safer and my clients were not in town to approve the finish sample ...soooo ... we're close ... The details on the brass feet are posted below ... the brass moldings will be installed and lightly shined after the finishing and assembly are completed ... click the photos to enlarge
