Maybe I can get him something from Ikea. He won't know the difference.

There are entirely too many people out there like that! Next time give
him a board with a recess routed in it and call it a picture frame. You
could even mount a picture of your table in it :-).


Along the same lines, I built something with beautiful highly figured
wood and gave it as a house warming gift to a friend and his wife.

She said, didn't you have any better wood. I explained that the
beautiful figure was highly prized and treasured. She said it would be
better if it were just plain brown.
