Welcome G M
You are not far from me.
I live just of the Highway half way to Horsham.

Thanks for the warm welcome and invitation to share.
In my retirement, I'm finally getting around to getting on with this desk I began working on nearly 30 years ago.:BAttachment 495566
There were chunks missing from the turned legs and holes in the top where a bench grinder had been bolted down , worn draw runners and various other evidence of a hard life but it's starting to look like it might have been over 100 years ago.
Isn't Australian red cedar beautiful stuff? I can't wait to finish it off with french polish!
The back panel is a pine- like light coloured timber (any ideas?) which I intend to darken with some old darkened shellac that's been sitting around for years.
Thanks again- Graeme
