This is an Ambrosia Spalted Maple Dining Table I made for my wife.  Obviously the chairs are yet to be built.

I found the Ambrosia Spalted Maple in a hardwood store in Linthicum, MD.  I had planned on making a dining room table out of Mahogany, but changed my mind when I saw this wood.  Next up, the matching chairs.

You're very kind. I am perhaps not a good judge for how long it took to build as I only get to spend about 4 hours on weekends in the shop and no time during the week. I started the drawings and sketches of the table in late
February 2009 and completed the final finish coat and assembly on about November 15, 2009. Unfortunately, probably unlike many of the folks on this site, I do not keep a journal to track my time, etc. I think that I will attempt to do this in the future. Best of luck in your future woodworking endeavors.
