    So here we are 2 years on and I'm finally using the first few pieces of the punky ash!

    I'm making a coffee table as the first test. I've remove a massive rotten knot that goes the whole way and a rake of the white rotten area, you can see the pencil marks where I have some more of that stuff to remove this weekend.

    I've secured two major cracks with a couple of bow ties in my spare time over the last few days.

    My plan is to finish the shaping, the coffee resin the massive knot hole, then do the joinery for the legs and lastly stabilise and finish the surface before fitting the legs.

    I'd welcome advice from any of you guys with greater experience about that sequence or just any of it really!

    If nothing else, it's just good craic doing my first piece of furniture of this type.
