The photo of me cutting our kitchen table out of a Red Gum tree that had fallen down is out of sequence , sorry . For two years on and off i tried to burn that rotten tree . One day the wife said "why don't you see if you can make some furniture out of it ?". I put my head sideways and i could see our kitchen table laying there . The tree had two trunks comming out of one stump . Over maybe a hundred years the two trunks formed one where they had been rubbing against one another . This left a big natural hole between them . I cut the tree off each side of the hole and dragged it to the mill . I put it on the Canadian and took a flat off each side . Then i took to it with the chainsaw to remove the 2" thick charcoal from where i had been trying to burn it . Then i got out with the sander and finally by hand . The finished product is amazing (the hole is now horizontal , it used to be vertical in the tree). I just need a big slab to go on top now , you can see it hanging from the roof of the house in one shot . It weighs a ton , i had to put another stump under where it sits . The glass in the end of the house was in the basement of a Sydney high rise that was pulled down ,it was spare glass still in crates . i bought it for $1300 , the glass in the roof is the front doors from Seaworld when it was upgraded . The floor is chipboard on 6x2 joists on 12x2 bearers with 1980 Terracotta tiles on top (my aching knees) there are more poles under the floor , making the total 30 . The house owes me under $30k . I hope i have covered your questions . Thanks again .
