I know you believe you understand what you think I wrote, but I'm not sure you realize that what you just read is not what I meant.
Regards, Woodwould.

Thanks for the reply but I will need to rephrase my question
I am looking at the 4 oysters in the very center of the top and I can see where you have mitred the 4 pieces , leaving a "star in the very center . As the oysters are 2-3mm thick this leaves a "hole" in the center. Have you cut a piece to fit exactly in this space.
As I said I am still at the bottom of the learning curve.I've just become an optimist . Iv'e made a 25 year plan -oopps I've had a few birthdays - better make that a 20 year plan

I wondered why he called it a brace of tables. I should have realised it's food on the brain.
I'm afraid two might be an understatement. I bought some elm recently, the same elm that BD has been using as a dinner plate. I glued up enough for two tops and started turning them down to size. Then the rain came - five and a half inches and still coming - and completely changed the dimensions of the rough turned tops. Wood always lets you know who's boss. I think I'll be leaving them for a few days until the humidity drops to something sensible.
Just to let the elm know I've a few weapons of my own I waded through the moat around the shed and sharpened some saws while muttering, "firewood".
It really is a beautiful wood and hopefully will be worth the effort.
Cheers,
Jim

Again paddled to the shed and squirted wd40 on tools. Nine inches of rain now since Tuesday night. How on earth are they coping in Queensland?
Cheers,

With Jim on go-slow (go-slower) after nine inches of rain last week, and wood bending all over the place with the humidity, I’m leaving him, his new moat, and the ‘shop lizard be. I have heard that this is ideal climatic conditions for saw sharpening
My shed spree was short today, with a bout of tree climbing, pruning, and the inevitable trailer-load of green waste eating into the intended planing. However, the bottom of the top has remained flat, and is now finished, sized, and looking like the interior of a well appointed bongo-van. Honing plane irons, and sharpening scrapers is in order before the final finishing of the top.

The bottom looks great . A pity it won't be seen except by the grand children rolling around on the floor
