to construct a small coffee table. There are a few other woods i would be willing to uses, but the palm fits in the whole theme of things. Is palm a good wood to work with? The Table will be 48inches by 18inches, but 3 inches deep. Those are just basic dimensions, the leg system gets a little complicated, and i am still working on a joint system. Any advise?
