Chinese Tea Table # 2

Sequel to Tea Table 1 (link)… Jane and I were visiting her friends and decided to build them a tea table from part of a tree they had cut down. This was a rush build (2-3 days), but surprisingly decent result.

 

I cut a section of the tree in half longitudinally and joined the two halves to make the table. Unfortunately, I was engrossed and forgot to take pictures until it was halfway done.
