Sure is going to be a lucky person who gets this wonderful piece.

I wish I could see more of the base. The top looks cool.

I agree. I think that the table would go for a lot more than $50.00, Then again if you really need to get rid of that much Claro Black Walnut Burl for 50 bucks, my address is…..., and it will not even take you and hour.

Great looking wood and a neat looking table. Thanks for the gift! It is quite generous of you. LOL.

You can put me on the “want some of that wood” list too :-)). Must be nice to live in an area where you can cut and mill your own wood, I’m jealous.

Hi Ron;
—-yes, the burl top is very awesome looking indeed! Your concept of table design also is very unique and I also can see how these would sell fast at your asking price.

I am wondering what is the thickness and size of of the top? Also do you experience that in the area of the crack, the wood continues to split….and also have you or do you use butterfly’s in that area of the crack to stabilize the wood? I know I’m asking a lot of questions and I also realize that you have made this one in an hours time, but then also my head is usually full of questions and I am all-ways wanting to learn more.

Thanks for sharing with us your work….
GODSPEED,
Frank

Frank, This material is a full one inch thick and the top is about 28” at the wide point. It is a small table not suitable around children because they try to climb on it and it would tip over. I cut it green over a year ago and air dried it. Burl tends to shrink at a different rate between the heavily burled areas and the plane grain areas causing cracks, especially near the root section. After drying is complete it is pretty stable and I don’t try to butterfly it or fasten it in any other way. I just leave kind of rustic. This kind of material I put in the lower grade section of stock I have on hand.

I agree with Rentman, the wood is worth more than you are thinking to charge. I can’t do anything in an hour, my hat’s off to you!

My father in law makes some one piece tables like that… If my fellow jocks haven’t beat me to it, I’ll take it for $50. (unless you’re holding out for a MUCH better offer)

How can I purchase one of these or two for the holidays? I would very much appreciate knowing this as soon as possible.

Thanks so much!

Gorgeous table and wood.

This is a really neat looking table, whatever you charge for it.
