It was the first person who said they were happy to collect - Rob

Yep, that's fine but NOT Sunday (20th) morning; after 2.30ish pm should be fine. The only ones that won't be included are those that I've contributed to over the years - Rob

There are boxes and boxes and boxes of the the things. If nobody collects them within the next few days they'll be soon residing in a landfill - Rob

Somebody was getting 'warm' on p1 of this thread. No names, no pack drill :D - Rob

Nope. It's not the drawer in itself but the way the grain runs seamlessly without a break from the rail into the drawer front. It's clever but easy when Derek shows how it's done - Rob

I know how the front was done as I saw someone do the same sort of drawer construction on a piece for David Linley. However, I'll stay quiet :lol: - Rob

Wot Mike said. There's a project(s) in there waiting to get out and when you know what it is, that piece of oak will be perfect for the job. In the meantime, I'd remove all the sapwood as the bugs n'beasties do like to dine out it it and having finished with the sap, they may well start on the...
