2x8 clear vertical grain roof sheathing glued together and the 12 sided polygon laid out. The inner circle has an 8" radius, the bottom of the the hopper, the next circle has an 12" radius, the top of the hopper, and the outter circle has an 15" radius, the base of the table support.
The base of the 12 sided polygon table cut and the edges of the polygon rounded over with an 1/2" round over router bit.

IPE polygon table top glued and screwed to the table supports.
Router attached to 1/2" plywood. I started off with an 33 1/2" radius. The final pass with the router I ended up with an 33" radius. It took about 20 passes with the router to cut the round table top.
The IPE wood is extremly hard to use a router on. The IPE wood kept on splintering.
The IPE polygon table plugged, sanded and oiled.
288 IPE plugs. All of the IPE material was left over from the Woodside IPE decking job. Some of it wasn't all that good to use on a table top, but it was free.
