Derek, I thought the rule joints would be relatively straight forward until I realised that the router cutters I had didn't match very well. Ended up doing several nervous passes at varying depths and distances away from the edge to get the two curves to match. Hopefully I will remember this the next time.

I like Alan Peters work (obviously) and after having made this table I can now see the amount of thought he put into every single detail. I wasn't sure what the purpose of the wedged tenons in the centre of the table frame were for and considered leaving the cross brace out. I had a trial run with just the rectangular frame and the supporting arms on my bench and when I pushed the arms down (similar to that of someone pushing the leaf down) the centre of the frame bowed out allowing the arms to drop slightly. Clearly this would allow the leaves to drop and is why the centre piece is there and the wedged tenon should stop it being pulled apart over time.

That went before I sent it.   However here is how it looks on the inside

I was pleasantly surprised how hard the wood was when I came to drill and cut the slots for the copper staples.
I usually use boat nails but here I used some old telegraph wire which is initially quite hard and very stiff. After heating it and leaving it to cool it becomes quite workable.

This wet turned bowl has reached a stage now where there is no discernable movement over the last couple of weeks since I removed the clamps.
A couple of pieces of the bark fell off so I have glued then back in place and re enforced the backs of the bark inclusions to with copper wire to secure them.
I also fitted the chucking socket insert and gave it it's final polish with a stitched cloth buffing wheel.
As it had been hot waxed all it needed was a quick going over with the wheel and it has a lovely satin sheen without being too glossy.
