Rita and Tony Trenga from Alexandria VA are long, long time friends. They have supported this hobby of mine with gifts of beautiful tools and encouragement. And as a special gift, Rita was the person who challenged me to build my first kayak - something that has brought me much satisfaction in the building and the paddling. So it was a joy to build this table for them to display an inlaid marble bowl that they purchased near the Taj Mahal. I hope to post a picture of the table and the bowl when it arrives at their house. For now, here are a couple pictures taken in our living room before shipment. It is made of walnut with mortise and tenon joinery and six coats of tung oil/varnish.

Today (Aug 9) I am posting two pix of the table with the bowl in the Trenga's house.
