Looks great. What kind of finish did you put on it. I am about to make a rustic dinning table and i’m trying to figure out what type of clear coat to put on that will hold up against kids and also not amber or change color.

Sweet it looks cool

I reallyl ike it. I’m guessing the keys are just sapwood, making the whole project walnut only? How large would you say this is. I’m guessing coffee table sized because the bottom shelf might prevent people from sitting at it? Its a great piece of work. Thanks for posting it.

HokieMojo, yep you guessed it sapwood dutchmen. And it is a coffee table 42” long, 24”+/- wide (varies) and 20” tall.

TimberMan. I just used a clear poly.

Man I love that. Every time I see one of your pieces it makes me want to just stop all what I gota do and make some dust and shavings.

I like using the sap in bw too. Just adds tons more character.

I love that design. What’s the finish?

BTW I didn’t think the grain was “too busy” on the ERC prototype . . . I dug it.

Super duper! Beautiful. Don’t know why, but I like that bottom shelf in there.

What a beautiful piece. Walnut being my favorite, I’d love to have a few pieces of “old nasty limb wood” to make that kind of project.

very nice! i love the sapwood and the bookmatching is cool because it has the same sapwood on both sides! i like that base too!

Nice slabs on the table top.And nice design also.

Perfect example of both perfect bookmatching and the use of sawpwood to highlight the heartwood. You’re breaking my heart. But I think you ought to get back to milling or we’re going to have to start call you a furniture maker and drop the Urban Logging title. [You seem to be pulling off both nicely- it aint fair! lol]

Gorgeous use of timber, Daren. Thanks for sharing.

-- My favorite piece is my last one, my best piece is my next one.

Beautiful table. I had always thought that sapwood was less interesting until you mentioned something on a forum topic awhile back about staining sapwood. Since then, I’ve looked at it quite differently and come to appreciate what it can add to a piece. Particularly walnut. Beware, though, one of these days I’m going to find out where central Illinois is and pop in just to see your lumber. You find some of the best looking boards.
