@Adam W. Lovely work. Really enjoying this. Thanks for sharing Fred

Welcome Alexis. Lovely work. All the best Fred

I came across Oliver Gomis a few days ago and posted details on one of the threads on this forum. I think this table is surerb. If it was mine I would have a piece of glass on the top to finish it off.

Oliver Gomis produces some stunning work. One for the woodturners?
