    Nicely done!! That man has many talents!!
    What a great conversation piece, and functional when you need an extra table for the family dinners. No question about it being solid, that's for sure!

    When you come south and toodle around .... you'll have to go to Floradale to a little Mennonite lunch spot in the old post office and general store. Not only have they kept much of the old furnishings (including the PO boxes with the names!) but have many treadles as the dining tables. Fun, eh? hhhmmmmm ... come to think of it, there's a golf course right near by to it! (now that should get your attention!)

    That's so pretty. Good choice with the oak. Nothing better.

    I bought one long ago and it's one thing I won't part with. Reminds me of my Mother sewing away at the end of my bed late at night.

    Wonderful use for the old treadle base. It looks great and is useful too.

    Thank you ladies for your kind comments. He did do a wonderful job & I am so proud of it BUT the roses are fake & I bought them myself !!! When I saw them in the store...............well, let's just say I knew they were going home with me because roses are my favourite flower of all time & lots of people that come & visit think that they are real.
