Spalted ash table

[MattyF]

Quite unusual wood caught just about right, thought the grain and colours came up nice and worth showing off as it was supposed to be a coffe table but ended up more Like a bench!!

A nice bit of wood-working, Matty.

What size is it?

Did you consider taking the bark off the legs?

[MattyF]

It's about a meter long by 40cms wide, I did consider taking the bark off but it's for a friend who's just finished an extension and had tree wall paper,she chose that top off the ones I had ready to use so it was kind of along those lines she wanted some thing natural looking like branches for legs!!! Could not quite figure out how I could do that so the first cut of some old ash boards came in handy , the bark has been planed and sanded so it's not to harsh a contrast i think , she has not seen it yet so if it's not working constructive comments please!!

Looks great, non barked, block legs would be nicer imo.

Cracking piece of wood and personally I like the bark on the legs. It's a bit different and goes with the top.

 

 

I'm liking the spaulting though. Very nice indeedy

Looks good. How do you get the bark to stay on?

Cheers for the comments,Carl I will ask her what she thinks,wont take a lot to get rid of ,maybe it matches the wall paper lol.

 

Rob I need to order some ripping chain soon!

 

Graham the bark it seems on ash does not want to leave I felled and planked that tree over two years ago the timber seems dry and the bark is not moving one bit!!As gibbon says felled in winter it seems to hold
