• Hi all and welcome to TheWoodHaven2 brought into the 21st Century, kicking and screaming! We all have Alasdair to thank for the vast bulk of the heavy lifting to get us here, no more so than me because he's taken away a huge burden of responsibility from my shoulders and brought us to this new shiny home, with all your previous content (hopefully) still intact! Please peruse and feed back. There is still plenty to do, like changing the colour scheme, adding the banner graphic, tweaking the odd setting here and there so I have added a new thread in the 'Technical Issues, Bugs and Feature Requests' forum for you to add any issues you find, any missing settings or just anything you'd like to see added/removed from the feature set that Xenforo offers. We will get to everything over the coming weeks so please be patient, but add anything at all to the thread I mention above and we promise to get to them over the next few days/weeks/months. In the meantime, please enjoy!

Picked this up today, I'll guess that the wood is oak. Seems to have proper mortise and tenon joints and bit of dovetail joints. So I may well be back in the shop before the end of this year to refinish this piece. Can't go back to work due to a big storm on the way.
 
It is certainly different looking, don't think it was mass produced. Tomorrow I'll give it a closer look. Seems that someone at one time thought adding screws would fix loose joints. :unsure: :(
Once and awhile its fun to dig into a project like this.
 
Did a wipe down to remove some grunge and decided to remove the top finish. The top wood is veneer and very thin. Applied stain followed with a fast drying wipe on varnish. It will due as a temporary piece until I get my act together to build a cricket table.
 
Well done.
Ive had some treasures from skips and Freecycle
If Im at the tip I often dispair at what people throw away
 
Just two weeks ago I salvaged a 1"x6"x8' Pine board and a 2x4x8' PT board. My wife always asks what did I bring home from the dump.
