have to confess i've not made anything from this piece of wood as it's not mine - it just seemed appropriate as i have a huge stack of oak from a wood reclaim charity in brighton - it's mostly 2"x1.5"x8'. i'm building bookcases and drawers from it very slowly as i've got enough clamps to make one decent piece a day, and many things come up to mean i don't manage to make a decent piece every day. when i get a digital camera i'll put up a more personal picture.
