This is my latest project. It was a test table to see what my dining room table will look like with a two man saw inlay. This was made from Beetle Kill pine from Colorado and the 4’ saw is from Bangor, Maine, home of America’s first sawmill. I routered out a pocket for it to sit in and coated it with 3 layers of bar top resin. The Beetle trails can be seen in the edges. The dining room table will be 7’x4’ and have (2) 6’ two man saw blades inlayed into the 3” thick top.

This is an awesome table. I love the inlayed saw and the giant slabs of pine. Great work!

Wow, that is sharp!
Sorry, couldn’t resist.
Very cool idea you’ve shared with us here.
I’ll be curious to see how the next one turns out.

Beautiful! I’d love to build one of these – if only I had a chalet to put it in!

Simply fantastic pieces. Primitive yet architectural. The saw idea is awesome. Wonderful work!

I never saw one of these before.
All kidding aside, that table is great. How did you join the legs to the stretchers?

Are there any good resources out there on using epoxy resin in this type of application? Do you need to build a form to keep it from running off the edges? What do you do, if anything, to finish the edges once you are done?

The new table will be 6’ long and 3” thick? So, you have a forklift in your dining room to move the new table?
Just be careful, it is very easy to get injured moving that kind of weight.
