"We have over 300 old science tables, which are about 1200x600mm and havenearly 1 inch thick solid hardwood tops (mahogny or teak). "

They would make perfect kitchen worktops at the very least wouldn't they???

i salvaged about 30 lab desks from mrs O's school (she's a science teacher), sold most of the tops (Iroko i think) on ebay and kept a few for myself for a workbench in the workshop Thumbright

Also the legs were beech, which also went on ebay. I thought it was unbelievable that the school were happy to just chuck it in a skip, it would have been such a waste.
