Coffee table

Question

I have completed this coffee table made from Tasmanian Oak for legs and rails and recycled timber for the table top, I don't what kind of timber it is. It's a hard wood similar to Tassie oak, but lighter in color, if someone could identify it, I would be very grateful.

Table top, unknown type of timber.

@JoeAzza that has come up well.

I have two more to do but they are rusted to hell and instead of wire brushing I am using a electrolyte bath (battery charger baking soda/bicarb soda) and about 15 hours

@r23on nice work, garden benches looking good, I have tried dovetails, you need lots of patience. I did a garden bench a while back, I spray painted   the cast iron with spray cans, much easier than using a paint brush, it gets in all the hard area's.

Thanks for the feedback, Lose tenons much easer than the old methods haven’t got around to that yet I have been doweling or dove tails for most of my joints

Over the last few week I have been doing restoration work on park / garden benches, the thing left is the cast frames.
