doubt it.
I already have an apple tree in the garden. doesnt look like this one. unless it's a special breed ? the leafs are too "feathery"

Glad to see you were able to get on and finish this piece, stef - it looks great! There's some nice character in the oak boards on the top as well.

The leaves look like hawthorn even the yound twigs are right but I don't see any thorns :shock:

no sorry, no thorns.
and the leafs are not as glossy.

I reckon it's a member of the Rosacae family, could be a crab apple. It certainly has the rosate leaves and branches like a fruiting tree

Crab Apple. :wink:

Crab Apple. :wink:

thanks, that may actually be the one !

good progress this weekend.
I spent it fitting the doors. hinges are such that you can just lift the door off. very handy for small adjustments.
talking of which, i still have to do. couple of sticking doors, and i still need to finish (sanding and waxing).
but its nearly done.
fittings are solid brass. i will put a lock on 2/4 doors and a locket on the other 2.

That's looking really nice, stef - and your young lad clearly approves 8)

Cheers :wink:
