Very nice Jamie,
I love the look of elm, great grain, tastefully emphasized by your design. I would love to try to work with this wood myself some day.

Great looking top for that garden table, just enough rustic with that smooth dovetail joint and finish to make
it look very good, and I can hear my beautiful lady sayilng “That looks too good to put out in the garden or
patio, I think it belongs in the house.” We have been having that liquid sunshine over here for the past couple
of weeks, with more predicted. Just when you start to get a little uptight about it, the sun sneaks through
for a few hours and makes the grass grow. Hope it dries out a bit, I hate planting the garden in mud. Thank
you for sharilng, and good to hear from you again.

‘tis a pretty thing. I see you left slots for the birds to poop through, and the squirrels to drop their shells. Don’t put that table in the house and deprive the denizens of the garden a great hangout….....(-:

Bet the cats would think it’s a great place to sun themselves as well…..........

Very nice balance of natural beauty and excellent (man made) joinery Jamie.
Any more pictures?

wow..That is so wonderful. ..perfectly pleasing
It is so coincidental. I was just looking at your sit recently. A friend of mine is going to perform my daughter’s marriage ceremony, and she has been wanting a meditation alter. My only association with such a piece was remembering that you made them. She was trying to explain and describe using natural pieces with a crisp, clean design…still trying to put that together in my head -looks like you have mastered it!

Perfect for a garden setting Jamie. Rustic charm is what came to mind first, and well crafted right after that.
