All up it took about 3 days.

About 4-6 hours for the CAD.
About 6 hours for the cutting.
About 4 hours for the sanding and the edge routing.
About 3-4 hours for the assembly.
About 4-6 hours for the Oiling.

Materials cost was around $400 and the cutting costs if you were to do it at a waterjet job shop would be about $300-400.

So all in all it's an expensive table, but I'm very proud of it's beauty and it looks great in my apartment.

Sure I'd change a few things about the design before building another one, but not too many. All in all a fabulous material and construction method for furniture.

Lovely! Has something of an Arts & Crafts look, as in the early 20th Century style. The joinery and such also reminds me of the die cut joinery used in cardboard and wooden models such as the wooden dinosaur skeleton kits you can buy. Beautiful material too.
