The side hall table in its final incarnation

As can be seen the legs changed a fair bit with each incarnation... finally I settled on tapered legs and leaving the brass woodscrews on the surface for some form of contrast... I finished it with Gilly Stephensons Orange Oil ... almost a bottle went into the thing in the end!!

To be taken to eldest daughters place in Harvey as a 3 week late birthday gift... dont quite know how Im gonna manage it just now as theres a bit of an issue with her dipstick of a boyfriend

But its done!!

Quite interesting actually given that I started this thiing I think in November? and couldnt seem to get into it so it sat there on the bench since then and it was only after a particularily nasty altercation with her boyfriend that I went out and it went to gether easy as without a hitch Im starting to wonder what Im gonna make when I deliver this and have the punch up? should be interesting eh? aaah nothin like a tad of frustrated anger to get the damned creative juices flowing richly!!

Ps... I have mentioned from time to time how much I dont like Jarrah... rather boring drab timber to my eye... however these old old boards being construction grade from back in the 30s or so have some bloody brilliant feature.. still I do think a small purfling of say maple would have been nice... ah well maybe next one eh? with 6 girls no doubt theres gonna be anothery sooner or later

Very nice piece of work.

Great Looking table Dingo!!!

Dingo,

My table was a rip-off of Major's table. I cannot claim any credit for the design.
