    I don't know what details you want, but I'll explain a few things on how I built it. I ran all the boards for the top threw the plainer so they would be the same thickness, and because they were decking boards that didn't have a flat bottom. Next I ripped each board to width on my table saw, then ran them threw the edge jointer. I biscuited each joint every 4" and assembled with a liberal amount of glue and bar clamps. After the glue dried I went to my local hardwood supplier/ mill shop and had him run it threw his wide belt thickness sander. 10 min = $10 and it's well worth it. then I trimmed the ends, routed all the edges and the top was done. The legs are made from 4 different pieces each leg that are lock mitered and glued. All the other parts were assembled using pocket hole joinery. Theres no stain on the tiger wood just 3 coats of clear, one coat of sanding sealer and two coats of lacquer. The cool part about tiger wood is that it gets darker as it patinas out.
