Beautiful! how has it held up? wanted to try something similar yet I'm always worried about wood movement. Also you mentioned you had to use the sander for the chamfers instead of the router does that mean power tools sawing routers etc are a no for jesmonite? Thanks for sharing.

Think of AC730 as like concreate when it comes to cutting it etc. AC100 can be cut with a bit more ease. It has held up well. The redgum was very dry though so it hasn't really moved at all
