OK lets put this puppy to bed.
Mainly sanding and sealing work
What the top side looks like sealed and prior to 40g sanding
What the under side looks like, ( and I am not sanding that)
What the half lap miters look like
First sand at 60g
Second seal
Out with the old
In with the new
That’s all Folks!
However I am thinking of making a tool shelf below the top,... we will see what develops but for now its done.
Not really a project apart from practicing the joints so this is the end.
Tools used
Timber used
I am saying its Yellow Stringy Bark a good solid Aussie hardwood.
Phewie its very hot…and I think I hear a beer calling me!
Thanks for looking in.

Nice one

Nice, Rob! I think you probably need another beer before planning the shelf. ;-)
