Community turns ancient oak into single-tree table in Devon woodland Table to seat 60 being built by local artists and craftspeople in woodland on edge of Dartmoor

I have a bonkers dream to create a table in the woods crafted from a single monumental storm-felled oak tree. An enchanted space for food and fellowship under the trees. I'm so grateful to all who've helped. It feels like a miracle.

In th'olde days of the king Arthour,
Of which Britons speken greet honour,
Al was this land fulfild of fayerye.
(Chaucer, late 14th century)
