A dining table made out of London Plane that I finished today - for myself! I milled this tree a couple of years ago for Jo at Hardy Tree Surgeons and he kindly let me keep a few of the quartersawn boards I had cut.

The rails of the frame are held together with a haunched mortise and tenon on the long sides and with festool domino connectors on the short sides so it can be disassembled for storage/transportation.

The top is made from quartersawn boards for stability and also to show off the "lacewood" grain patterns. It's held to the base with table buttons which allow for seasonal movement but also hold it down tight.

The grain might not be to everyone's taste but I think it's quite memorising and makes a change from looking at Oak.

Yeah I don't think the standard polyx is meant to be sprayed as its not thin enough. I use a foam brush then buff the excess off after 20 minutes or so.

A small Larch timber frame I milled and made most of the kit for. I only did a few of the braces as I went away for a couple of months and ran out of time
It was finished and assembled by the Buxted Scout group with Scott Fraser.

The jowl posts were milled from the bottom ends of the trees to utilise the slight flare the logs had.
