The tree would have been ancient and so it is nice to see the timber being used in such a sturdy piece of furniture which you can hand on to your children when the time comes.<br /><br />Now on another note, I'm starting to get a little bit unsettled by the order in your kitchen! :-) Hehe! Sorry, I couldn't help myself, but it is looking great.<br /><br />Cheers<br /><br />ChrisFernglade Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06950962122594709186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4838234360213313454.post-35632587716290451832018-08-27T11:19:18.275+10:002018-08-27T11:19:18.275+10:00It's perfect, I don't think you will ever ...It's perfect, I don't think you will ever regret the decision.<br />cheers Katesimplelifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13397507005757292686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4838234360213313454.post-29004214470277586252018-08-27T10:58:42.204+10:002018-08-27T10:58:42.204+10:00Linda, I do stroke it!

Also, the builder left parts of the bark intact along the edge, which is wonderfully tactile to stroke. I love my view - I look straight across the valley to all the old houses marching up the other side of the hill, with the town down below me on the river.<br /><br />Gretchen Joanna, I enjoyed this process so much, being able to work with a craftsperson to achieve exactly what I wanted. And it has transformed how we use the kitchen as well - for the first time there is somewhere to sit and chat and watch the cook at work:)<br /><br />Meg, the story adds so much to the table.<br /><br />Hazel, it took a while to take the leap and spend the money, as I don't like spending! But I'm glad I did.<br /><br />Amanda, I am really enjoying using my 'new' kitchen, thank you:)<br /><br />Anna, it does feel good to give work to people you know, instead of to a faceless corporation. Keeping the local economy ticking over is an awesome way to spend money:)<br /><br />Fran, I am trying to do the maths here - if I live for another 50 years, it will only have cost... x$ per year:) :) <br />Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17803297366197086152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4838234360213313454.post-47619717762989876992018-08-27T06:43:44.624+10:002018-08-27T06:43:44.624+10:00What a splendiferous table.

In fact I was just up at my son's asking him about changing my entire heating system when I retire (it's his line of work) and did he know a good tiler because I want my bathrooms re-done too and I want to give the work to his friends/locals. But I was also talking to my friend and her ex husband does carpentry so I think I have more work lined up for someone. It is nice to re-use stuff and to give work to the locals though isn't it.Treadershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08613671137557939083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4838234360213313454.post-15816123531388498272018-08-26T22:40:50.284+10:002018-08-26T22:40:50.284+10:00Beautiful table.

I can't believe the view from your window - it's stunning! I think lots of Launceston homes must have views like that, which must make dishwashing just a bit less tedious.<br /><br />Linda in NZ<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
