How did you attach the log base to the top?

Very Nice!!! I am working on some similar pieces with big slices of catalpa.

Well done. Great looking wood. I like the jig you made, very creative.

That top is awesome what is it finished with?

Thanks for the great comments!

@ Donald: the finish is 2 coats of Danish Oil and sanded with a 600 grit wet n dry paper.

@ Kelly (Rivergirl): I made wooden table top attachments which are similar to the ones in the link below. The allow for seasonal movement of the wood.

Yes, another brilliant idea. Keep them coming.

Nice table Stephen! Just this week I made a bookcase with Jarrah for an Aussie that now lives here. He brought the wood with him when he moved!

You must have been wagging your tail for some time after completing that table Stephen. A most interesting planing jig, have you tried planing with the ski mounted router and a large bottom cleaning bit?
