Nice table, when I see something like that, I always equate to, as in, wonder what that would look like in a cue.
If you ever look at the hand rails in a building or in an elevator, they use some nice stuff sometimes.
If I were to be a thief, I would be a wood thief. I could go into a building with my tool belt on and pretend I'm building maintenance and leave a happy camper.
Of course, I wouldn't do that, but it would be much safer than robbing banks.
That is a tough question Tom. As much as I love pretty cue wood, I also like tables and furniture made from a big old natural piece like that.
