I really don’t know the best name for it. Made from Maple, not sure of the species. I did a post awhile back about taking apart a table to use the wood for future projects, well thats what I have done.

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!

Started with the bottom glue up, while drying marked out the side handles. Got a look I wanted then drilled a few holes and fine tuned it.

Connected the exterior of the holes with pencil then cut the remainder out with the jig saw.

Rasps and sand paper work left me an ok surface for a finish.

The sides and ends are cut and ready for doweling, glue and clamping. The dowels were bored on a slight angle to keep all the but joints tight.

Looks nice and solid.
Looks lovely but why not round the side pieces to match the handle shape?

I did ponder that but decided to have an angular look, maybe for the next one.
And heavy. What does it weigh?

Just put it on a human weigh scale, 1.25 kg, our scale is not that good.
Edit: weighed myself with the tray then without, 2.5 kg. Really a guess as the scale is 50 plus years old.
