Since we are now sitcom characters, I thought I'd better show you some set dressings. Plus my today's sketch sucks and I needed something else. I didn't notice the curtain wasn't hanging straight when I took the picture. The table is huge, much bigger than it looks here. If you guys would all come over at the same time we could hang out at this table. It still needs finishing though, but so does the floor. Michiel's famous thumb cut happened when he was working on the legs. Neighbour Caspian gave him the wood for the top. It is made out of the beams of a wall that neighbour Caspian broke out of his house. Old growth pine, we love it. The legs were doors. I think the only things bought were the glue, two bolts, and a metal detector to prevent the occurrence of nails in the table saw.
Certainly you wish you'd bought a thumb detector too.
(sorry, just cloudn't resist)
It's great. A gorgeous table. I'd like a photo tour of the house, please.
