    Default First project in Oz

    Hi guys and gals,

    Wanted to introduce myself here instead of the special thread which is up somewhere in the forum. I came to Australia to study about 7 years ago from one big well known eastern-european country. While my work has nothing to do with woodworking, I find myself tempted from time to time to do something from wood. This was one of the first projects I did here. The table was made pretty much without power tools except for a jigsaw and a sander. All burl cutting, shell cutting, shaping, sanding was done with hand tools only. Recently I have renovated it a bit, and used a router to round some edges.

    Here are some photos...

    Cheers,
    Ilya

    Welcome, Ilya. That's a nice table & I like the shaped legs. What timbers have you used?

    Thanks guys! I am ashamed, but I am not sure what most of the wood in this table is The burl is Mallee. Bought it at the first WWW show in Canberra 6 years ago. I was so impressed by the variety of timber that is available here!
    PS. The shells are just polished abalones.

    Amazing!

    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.
