Your 603 round table is gorgeous.

Thanks. There's a nice story behind it too.

It's not all my own work -- The top was glued up and roughed out by a
friend of mine's grandfather, some decades ago and shortly before he
died. Then it languished with a few other half-projects in the back of
the family's garden shed. Early this year I was visiting while they
were tidying up and I came home with this pile of odd bits of timber.

A glued-up tabletop is too wide to sit tidily in the woodrack and it
kept annoying me. It's lovely figured piece of timber and I couldn't
bring myself to re-work it into anything else, so obviously I had to
finish it into something. I'm quite fond of old Gustav and the simple
603 tables had no apron to make so I could knock one up quickly out of
not much other timber. Finish is ammonia fuming and shellac over oil.

I still haven't found a home for it. I might see if the original
owners would like it back as a finished piece.
