What a welcoming bunch, thank you!
I've had a play around with the photos in the posts, so they should now all be thumbnail sized now.
Peter, in answer to your questions and as the OH said the legs are mortice and tenons (pic below), and are pinned together with white oak.
The worktop is made out of Iroko wood, which we bought in the form of old school science desks from the local Education For All Trust, which were then cut up, and thicknessed. You have to be careful when doing woodwork with Iroko though as the dust can cause severe allergic reactions and is apparently carcinogenic. When it was finished the top was given a few coats of Danish Oil to finish it.
Now to find a suitable seat! I'm not sure whether to be looking for a low stool or a high-ish chair though really!
