Can Rejected Scrap Wood Make a Good Table?

My second project designing and making a small wood table…

I had just started learning how to make sawdust, when I saw this article online, one of the free projects that Fine Woodworking (FWW) publishes:

Floating-Top Table - FineWoodworking

I thought it looked fine. But I had a particular cherry board I had fallen in love with, and I wanted to make it into the top of a table with minimal changes to the board. So, I decided to design my own table, inspired of course by FWW’s design.

Here are a couple screenshots of my design after seeing that article by Michael Pekovich:

This is the story of one small cut-off cherry board and the table I made from it.
