I've been browsing around the Robert Thompson web site today http://www.robertthompsons.co.uk (I have a set of napkin rings bought by my parents from his workshop 30 odd years ago) and noticed that their dining tables are finished by hand with an adze.
Has anyone here ever tried this? I imagine it is a skill that take ages to master. In several years of browsing various woodworking newsgroups I do not recall anyone talking about this technique which I imagine requires standing on top of the piece and swinging the adze between the legs.
I have no intention of trying this, just curious.
