Just finished making a side table out of American Maple: 1300mm length, 400mm width, 810mm height. Two coats of Danish oil. Lovely timber to work with. Had to make a jig to taper the legs using the table saw. The photos distort the legs; they are straight and vertical!

Matthew Timber cutting the planks to fit inside my car. You can see the timber racks that house a variety of timber species

Lots of final sanding
