    Oh where, oh where has the coffee table gone.

If he gets it without working for it; he's a parasite; and if he accumulates it after a life time of hard work, people call him a fool who never got anything out of life."

    I see that this is a similar design to the other coffee table that you made. How much time between drinks shall we say, when the first was completed and this started?

    Default Camphor Table

    I usually have a number of projects on the go at one time and I do the work when I feel like it. Recently though, Brisbane has been hot, Humid (100%) and very wet so instead of sweating it out in the shed I do the work when the weather permits. I would say the Maranti Table took 4 days and that would include the finish which was a 2 pac and the Camphor 5 days. Waiting for the glue and the finish to dry was the time consuming parts of the projects.
    Cheers

    Nice work Belinda. Lovely figure in the Camphor.
    You aren't wrong about the humidity in Brisbane lately.
    Up there a couple of weeks back and could cut the air with a knife.
