Community turns ancient oak into single-tree table in Devon woodland
(www.theguardian.com)
A handmade home for woodworkers and admirers of woodworkers. Our community icon is submitted by @1985MustangCobra@lemmy.ca whose father was inspired to start woodworking by Norm and the New Yankee Workshop.
Seriously!! A grievous crime from The Guardian leaving us hanging like that!
Edit: it bothered me, so I did some digging:
Here's a video of Alan discussing his design for the chair:

It looks like that was filmed a month ago, so if he woodworks anything like me it'll be a minute before it's finished :D
There's more photos and info on their crowdfunder page: https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/great-oak-table
...now that looks like a fine place to celebrate my hundred-and-eleventh birthday...
