    Those are some really nice looking carvings and I look forward to your final product.

    As an aside, I see you had some head breaking when you put in your brass screws. It helps a LOT if you drill pilot holes, then drive a harder (steel, zinc etc) screw into the pilot hole with a little paraffin on it. Then remove the steel screw and drive the brass screw (with a hand screwdriver). The screw will hold better and you'll never have another breakage. The only big negative I've had is that if the screws are not threaded exactly the same it is difficult to "clock" the screws properly (make the heads all line up the same way) but with phillips drive screws I rarely clock anyway so this is not a deal breaker for me.

    All in all though, those are some really nice carvings and I can't wait to see pics of the final table
