Hi, my name is Ron & I have loved timber as long as I can remember but have only dabbled in wood work as a amateur over the years.
I have a reasonable fitted out workshop under the house that I love spending time in, especially with the grand kids.
I intend to build a red gum table approx 1.5m x 2.2m so I thought it would be a good idea to join this forum for some experienced intel.
Any advice on any issue in regards to building a red gum slab table, from timber selection through to timber finishing would be very appreciated.

Looking forward to being part of the forum

Cheers

Ron

This question that you posted can cover large variation of information. I might suggest that you start a work in progress thread in the General sub-section or in the BigStuff sub-section.
