a couple of weeks ago Avril and I were in a little coffee shop cum gallery,whilst there we saw a really nice natural wood side table...it was,nt big, but had a big price tag...£299....Avril really liked it, but...it was out of our price range,...but i could see that she was really taken with this type of furniture,...So I thought, I could make something similar...I went to our local sawmill,..same place where i got the cedar wood for the worktops,..I bought 2 x pieces of Spalted Sycamore and Beech..for £40...and after a 4 days work, I,ve ended up with these 2 tables,I,m in the process of rubbing Danish Oil into them,then they will get a Beeswax finish...Avril,..will get a surprise when she comes home later today....and it looks like I could have a few more to make, as my neighbour has said she,d like two...Who knows..this might turn into a little cottage industry...
Just thought i,d add this link..to put things into perspective....my cedar worktop,started out as a 13ft x 3ft x 6in lump...which cost me me under £300...this lump....is..."I think maybe an April Fools joke..
