New table for lodge

A Rascal member has kindly constructed a new table for the dining room.













Towards the end of last year the Committee wanted to replace the current pine table in the Lodge with one that matched the long table that was constructed by the Lodge builder, Hubert Hooverman in 1969.


Rascal member Simon Matthews kindly offered to build the table. It was difficult and expensive to exactly match the top surface so a modern wrap around laminex surface was used. 

The table is now at the lodge and looks fantastic.

Simon says the round profile edge makes for easy cleaning and it is strong and sturdy.

He said he was after a more rustic look, hence the gal bolts and nuts and leaving the timber natural.

The timber frame and legs are spotted gum, oiled and waxed and no paint was used, so requires little to no maintenance.

Many thanks Simon, for your considerable work in designing and building the table. It is much appreciated.
