Default Spalted Maple bedroom nightstand
This is my first attempt at a nightstand, bookshelf. It is made of Spalted maple (top shelf), Ash (second shelf) and Mineral stained Popalur (legs). Not quite what I envisioned but I like the end results. Thanks for looking. Any comments welcomed.

Wow!

That is gorgeous! Nice work. I find the best results are never "as planed".

Beautiful work. Mixing wood species often has some great results. I dig the rustic look.

That's a great look. You should be proud. What tool did you use to sand/plane the top?

It was planed top and bottom, then sanded with 180, then with 220. Thanks for the comments everyone, I've been leaning more towards what I call rustic looking. I have gotten a pretty good response from people on it.
