The Silk Oak (Grevillea Robusta) timber was felled and milled by a friend and I from the local area. We sized and dressed the timber at Ironbark Grange and then completed the project over quite a few months with the help of various helpers.
This was my Xmas present to Ann…..I thought I had let the anticipation of a coffee table build to just the right level. (Ann threatened to go out and buy one!)
