Very nice work. I like the grain of the wood. What does a pippy oak tree look like? I don't think we have that species over here.

Beautiful work, I really like it.

If you don't mind me asking, where did you get the half -pallet from?

Thanks

Like this. Just an ordinary oak but with lots of burls on it, so you get the groups of little knots.

I actually got it from my uncle, who took the other half.

It was sitting outside a house, left over from a renovation I think. It was really twisted and warped. But after an hour or two with the jointer and thicknesser it came up beautiful.

Cheers for the comments guys

Warty! That was the word I was trying to think of but it kept eluding me. #-o
