Very nice effect, and o good use of a salvaged ship’s ‘scuttle’..

Please excuse my pedantry, but may I tell you that a ‘Porthole’ is a large doorway in the sides of some ships, through which passengers and cargo pass. Windows, like the one you used, are known as scuttles! (Usually round of course!)

I like the look of this. I also thought the scuttle might have been better the other way around, but then you’d have a well in the table top. That might be awkward for wiping up spills!
So, 10/0 for this one.

Regards

Adam,
Fantastic table. Have you considered putting port in upside down?
