A couple of years ago Chris was keen to use a timber slab from a tree felled in our daughter's front yard, and turn it into a small coffee table. The project has been an on-again off-again job, but I've finally finished it off. Here's a couple of pics.

Thanks for the positive comments. The project involved LOTS of sanding, and I finished it with four coats of a Cabots water based gloss floor finish, to give a hard wearing surface. It's not very big, with the top being around 600 x 380mm but for it's size it is weighty and can't be easily knocked over.
