Hi Harry,

You may mean the right thing and even have implemented it correctly but

  a halftone step over base_freq  =  base_freq * 2^(1/12)

Even if you implemented it correctly, overtones or undertones can
mislead ones perception quite easily. Looping can warp things back, too.
-- I suggest to play the wavetable in a loop and check with a spectrum
analyzer if you really have the fundamental.
