Natural Edge Elm Table

That’s an interesting base, was it made to fit around a speaker or other components? Beautiful grain on that elm.

Very pretty. I like the stabilized bark.

As for the base, for now I wanted an open look. Speakers in the future are a definite possibility.

What a great looking top!

-- Whether You Think You Can or You Think You Can't, YOU ARE RIGHT!!!

I have seen a few other elm projects and the wood is beautiful and your use is quite wonderful. Love the leg structure.

The table is beautiful!

How do you use CA glue to set the bark?

Mick,
I simply saturated the bark with the CA glue. I’ve also used a similar approach on natural edge bowls with good success.

Great table!! I love elm, it’s such a joy to cut. A little tricky to dry sometimes but well worth it. Once again, great build!
