Nice piece of wood Conny.

 

[crystal ball]

Been doing a lot of sanding and staining to produce this from a slab of sycamore I picked up yesterday.
The original surface was full of ridges made when being cut. Belt sander seen to them and then a few hours of orbital sanding working up through the grades to finish with a fine 240 grit. Couple of coats of stain and I now have a very happy wife.
Original intention was to use it for blanks in my lathe but that soon got the kybosh when my good lady seen the patterns and suggested a nice table top for the patio. Have to admit I'm quite pleased with the result.
(There are hidden fixings underneath to prevent it being knocked off but it weighs a bloody ton anyway! LOL)

You are just like my missus. She hates coffee.

I have a cup of tea first, in the morning then a strong cup of coffee.

It's open now. I'll try one while my kids climb the trees.

 

[Mottie]

I bought this about 18 months ago and I haven’t had an instant coffee since. It’s proper spoiled me.

You are just like my missus. She hates coffee.

I have a cup of tea first, in the morning then a strong cup of coffee.

When I was a nipper, the smell of coffee made me physically retch.

And, to be truthful now, I like the taste of tea so much, I have no need nor desire for coffee .

 

[HERTS P&D]

I like the taste of tea

That's quite funny as you never me mention having a cup of tea.
