A nice little table

Very Nice. I have never seen anything built from apple before, the grain of the apple looks great. I have a large sherry tree that was just cut down that I am planning to cut up and dry myself. It sure beats the price at the lumber yard.

Very nice detail.

Great job…from lumberjack to lumberjock
That must be very satisfying taking it from tree to lumber to a nice finished project
You did it all!

A pretty table with a story to go with it! Nice job.

Impressive!

I’m amazed you got as much wood as you did from such a short bole. Beautiful wild colour and the sycamore is a nice compliment to it. Pretty fine work too.

@vipond33: As I recall, in “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe” by C.S. Lewis, the wardrobe was made from an apple tree. That must have been one big-ass apple tree.

Nice table, Patrick.

Our own ‘big ass’ apple tree is close on 25 metres tall. It doesn’t bother me though, we rent.

Nice. I like the joints.

Nice table. Is that a double lap joint securing the end of the aprons to the legs? If that’s a false tenon end, you did a really good job disguising the it.

@JoeinDE One apron is a through tenon. The other apron is milled and shaped at the same time. It ends up being a stub tenon and a false tenon, but I was careful to keep the aprons and false tenons together so the grain was consistent.

Very nice table, good use of a fallen tree.

-- Quality is easy to see - but hard to explain

I love everything about this table. The way you got the lumber, the tapers, the lapped joints, the lumber itself.

Wow. So cool.

Beautiful table. Good think that tree did not end up being firewood.
