Have been not surfing much as my to do home renovations list is very long. Been working on this kitchen table on and off for a few weeks. Still need tp biscuit the top together, belt sand and finish off. Sorry about the bad photos.
Great work mate, more pics when you've finished it.
Now get out & use that new board of yours!!!!

Clever bugger McH. 
Look forward to seeing the finished product.
ET.
Talented..are you going to stain it or clear finish...IMO..Baltic stain,oil based, followed by Satin clear also oil based....then rub with 1200 wet n dry with teak oil...rag clean.
Bewdiful 
Nice work McH,what dimmensions and timber have you used?can you fit 3 chairs between the legs on each side?
looks nice - what height is it? Looks fairly short - but perhaps thats just the photo not doing it justice.

Its 3000 x 1150 x 750h.
Yes 3 chairs easily between the legs.
Will sit 12 easy.
Got a bowl big enough to.satisfy the 12 at the table
Haha. I guess we had a big hole to fill with the extension and I had the materials so it came down to proportion. The tops are out of a science lab from the 60s. Traded a demolition contractor a 12pack of wine for them from a refurb we did. Took me 20hrs to belt sand off the original two pack.
Going to make a bench seat 2600 long on the one side of the kitchen table.
Mac you have any kitchen benches at Biku. If so could you measure one. I'm keen to figure out a width of the actual seat. Thinking 400mm to 450mm.

I hope your going to keep the timber natural,however one fine coat of clear to stop water marks is recommended.Kitchen stools go for 45 x 40 or 50 x 40 or even 40 x40,pending on how many stools you want to fit the bench top.Good to see you can tuck the 3 chairs under your table so many designers get this wrong when making a table with recessed legs at the ends.
Mac are you talking about 40 high with those dims ??
I think the bench will be 2600L x 40W x 40H.
Bit concerned about 40h with a 760 table height. What do you think ??

No mate I'm talking depth and width of a stool
Table is done kiddies. Top ended a bit more honey than I'd like but stuff it, good enough.

Super effort that - when can we put an order in?
Swap- Table for Log
Used a water based product from Mirotone.
The 8022 for the sealer and the 8060 for the top coat. It has a matt finish. Then I did a wet sand with some Scandanavian Oil to finish it off.

Simondo posted a gsi modern old school log for sale but to be honest I'd rather try and surf your table.
McHenry, post me how much money you want for a replica! Would suit our house very well!
