A 18" diameter top on a Shaker candle stand I completed last week.

I had to tell the truth. My board was at best 1c or a lower grade. I'm far to cheap to use those wide boards in my projects.

I did take the question as a complement and went on to explain grain matching. I get irritated when I see these big tables with huge price tags and the maker made no attempt to match the grain.

It looks to me like you did a fine job matching the grain and deserve the compliment. Beautiful piece.
