Writing Table Top Progress

Back in the day, I scored some genuine mahogany from a guys basement clean-out sale. I began working on a small writing desk, and it sat for a number of years while I moved, worked on different things and generally got distracted.

I've been working more on it recently, all of the parts, save the drawer stock are milled and ready, and I just got the tabletop together, which is really exciting. Here are some photos.

Top glue up, the stuff is nearly perfect quartersawn, and I love the colors and figure.

A close up of the grain...

And here I'm working on a travisher, out of beech. I cut some jigs to template route the curves, but I still have to finish adding stops and clamps before I can use them.
