New table for the balcony.

Except for the banding on the top, it is completely made of Elm firewood that I cut into boards years ago. Elm is a ***** to work with, the grain is so twisty that tear-out cannot be avoided except by planing across the grain.

I had to glue up boards as nothing was large enough for the components.

After grain filler & 3 coats of poly.

Very nice. My shop used to look like that until it became a collection point for everything.

Table looks great, now I've got shop envy.

Nice table, I won’t post a pic of my shop, you will pass out laughing (8*6 foot shed)
Today it’s 35 dec in the shed, way to hot to work in.

Nice work...
All my tools sit under a tarp because I dont have a work room.

Beautiful work! You're very handy. It will be a pleasure to use as well as just look at.

Oak?

I believe he said virtually all old elm firewood.

Nice wok, Ron. Time to load up the top with a plate of tasty snacks and a couple glasses of cold refreshments and enjoy a break with the Missus on one of these fine August evenings.

Thanks folks, for your complimentary comments.

Nice table! I love homemade things. I have quite a few since my Dad used to do a lot of wood work.
