The top is now on and I've tapped in some plugs for the old nail holes.

Result after a few rubs with polish.

Saturday was a polishing day. I didn't want a high polish, just a bit of shine.
It's going to be a utilitarian kitchen table. The top was prepared with a good scrubbing with sugar soap only.
I wanted to keep the rustic character.

I've found out a bit more information on the origin of the table.
The owner originally purchased the table in Holland. She used it in a tiny flat for years.
She was happy with the result ...
"It still looks like my old table .... just better"
Cheers all,
Stu

Looks nice Stu , well done .
And not over done
From those last pictures Id say its Elm .
I don't know how many types of Elm there are, but you get to see light coloured types through to dark rich , "ripe as a plumb " types.
In a book I have here there are three types described .
Common English Elm
Dutch Elm and Wych Elm
I was going to put a picture from the book up but I'd better not .
The book describes an attractive pattern of fine zigzag markings. Ive seen the markings the book describes in plenty of Elm and can see it in your table to the left of the front right leg.
Red Arrows.

The last thing I wanted was the table to look like new.
The FIL was over on the weekend before the table went home, and he agrees that it looked like Elm.
Pretty timber.

Very nice work. Bid higher

Innovations are those useful things that, by dint of chance, manage to survive the stupidity and destructive tendencies inherent in human nature.
