What would you do with these?????

[Karl]

Hi all

Just looking for any thoughts on what I can do with these Oak boards:

I have two boards which are 7' long by 14" wide by 1" thick.

The first has been surfaced (as seen in the pic), and I was going to rip them down into more stable sizes. But it seems such a shame.

So before they hit the Triton, any suggestions for alternative uses in their current size (to show off their natural beauty) would be welcome.

Cheers

Karl

Book shelves?

Coffee table top?

Breakfast table?

A nice desk?

A desk top for the study had crossed my mind, but I am worried about movement in the boards. I know the sensible thing to do is rip them down and re-join.

Cheers

leave the boards in the house for a few months, plane flat and they should be ok I would have thought, there are plenty of old large boardroom desks/tables made from very large boards.

I'd rip them down into 20mm strips and use them for lipping veneered MDF.

Karl,

Try taking one of these a day - all year round.

I've not had a cold in 8 years of taking them.

Cheers

Having said that, there is of course a cure for the common cold...
