There has to be a slab table in there!
What about book matching the two sides of the cant.
I have to speak now before you cut it any more.

That is so cool. I really need to find a friend with a big tree in his backyard. . . . that I can have.

Good luck with all the wood.

If you find a friend with a big tree in the back yard, make sure he’s got a strong back to help you with it. Great shots and video, Dorje!
