Doco and Devon's table

Doco has been itching to make this table all summer.  Too much going on until these last ten days.  Turned out that Devon was keen and available to work with Doco, so they set to.  Several hours a day working away in the squirrel-barn workshop, and here it is.  Finished!  Modified from a bench to a table (lower and wider) to be a replacement for Thomas Wright's table that has lived outside in the weather on the ranch house porch for 40+ years - MUCH used and now wobbly.  
the original 'Fine Woodworking' plan
almost done - the finishing touches
DONE - with its two very pleased creators
… still lovely after its first night in the rain

… and PEARS.  What better place to show off this year's marvellous crop.  Three fruit boxes in total, picked by Devon and Doco, ahead of the bear.  Not the huge crop of 2015 and 2014, but beauties.  I see now why painters use them in 'still-life' paintings.
