Woodworking help!

Hi all!

I want to make a round wooden table for my school woodworking class. I need woodworking suggestions . What type of wood should I use that has good strength & texture? I am looking for something that can make my project stand out in class.

Where do you live and what timbers are available?  Jarrah most likely.  Are you the teacher?

I'm guessing this is a coffe table type style? 
A nice slab of redgum would do the trick. They have some amazing grains in them. Contact some one who sells firewood and see if they can get you a nice round piece. 
be mindful, it will be very heavy. 
My dad and his friend used to make outdoor furniture for years. They would always sell-out of stock at the markets. 
Best of luck with your project.  (I also agree with searching YouTube and Pinterest is good too) 😊
