Handmade table commission has just been started. This made to order table wil be of a trestle style and designed by the client with a little advice from yours truly. Managed to source some wonderfull ‘pippy’ oak (or what our friends across the pond call ‘cats paw’ oak) for the bespoke table top. Plus some full character oak for the handmade table base. I’ll get some photo’s out as soon as l can on the handmade dining table’s progress.
1.8 square handmade table has finally been completed and delivered!!! The base jointing was by ‘draw tenons’, beefed up with glue blocks and because of it’s unwieldy size, corner braces. Finished the piece with an ‘own recipe’ stain, hard wax/oil then beeswax. I think the client was quite pleased with their handmade table – It’s arrived and it fits!!!! It looks superb. Thank you thank you thank you x. Myf and Andy
