This is a nice project. Making it from wood for which you know the history makes it priceless. There are some posts in the background are these from the same maple?

Did you slab out the maple or did you leave it in logs to dry it?

-- With God's help all things are possible- even woodworking. Woodworking is not just a hobby, it is an (expletive deleted) expensive hobby.

Rustic is the word for this one.

We had cut the log into 3 slabs/sections to dry, which it did perfectly… no checks. It was origianlly about 18” thick. I still have the center and 1 side section. I want to mill the center into nice lumber. Thanks to all for the kind comments. I just like working with rustic “stuff”. I’m not a fine furniture kinda guy (although I can appreciate it). Rustic gives me room for… ... errors that give it personality.

Love it!
