thanks guys, as i am relatively new to showing my work on the web, i appreciate all your comments, keep them coming please good or bad

Dave, to be honest the elm wasn't that hard to plane, to my surprise, i thought it would have been a nightmare :roll: but the thicknesser left a good finish which helped !

Alan, my mistake, i got a few pics taken while i was cutting the elm down for the top in reply to another post and then totally forgot about any more. I normally don't even take pics of my work at all :shock: watch out for my next episode wip a promise :wink:

Owen, we must be on the same level mate !! :lol:

Waka, Paul, thanks for the kind comments, it makes my enthusiasm even stronger !!

cheers Paul.J
i bought the elm off a local furniture making business, they said it wasn't suitable for their use---- their loss

i gave the table two coats of danish oil and then two coats of wax finishing polish.

Excellent piece of furniture,Gary
Finish looks great,timber looks absolutely beautiful,and the size and proportions look very well-balanced.
