I have decided this evening to root out an old project and try to get it finished.
Around 3 years ago I was milling my first lot of timber, in that was some very large lumps of Beech. I was working my way down cutting it into 2" - 6" thick slabs, as I got towards the bottom a had one of those idea moments and thought that I could use one big solid lump to sculpt a table out of.

I will take some pictures of how it looks now tomorrow, didn't just have chance this evening.
There is still quite a bit of work to do, I have plenty of sanding to go at. Through the middle I have cut a large rectangular hole just to break it up a little, back then I was a little numb with my big new saw and have left a couple of overcut marks that need tidying up but they shouldn't be a major problem. I would also like to reduce the top so that I leave a lip around the outside so I can fill the centre with resin. This isn't a method I have used before but am very interested and think that it would really work well on this piece.
