Currently, I am working on a table that takes both my partner and I to lift as it is so heavy.
A dear friend & work colleague of mine knew that I was doing wood working and stated he had this piece of wood that he was going to chuck out. It was being used for a work bench top and he needed to get rid of it so that he could start building his new garage/work shed.
I told him in shock horror not to throw it away! "Give it to me, Give it to me!"
He said it was a very heavy piece of s@!# (slab) LOL, and that if I was sure, he'd bring it down to work the next day and load it up in my truck.
Insert DUH here!
But of course I want it. I can not, in good conscience, see a potentially good piece of timber go to waste!
So, I am currently working on it.
Here is a sneak peek at what the timber looked like after it's first 60 grit rough sanding. I forgot to take pictures of it when it was first given to me (I am kicking myself, trust me!), but you can see the black/dark green of what it was and the holes in it.
More to come.
