Wow! your projects just get bigger and bigger; this one will hold a year’s worth of coffee for a division!
I’d like to know more about the method of joinery on that big slab, and whether you have any problem with wood movement.

That’s great. How did you cut the stump?

amazing! I showed my wife the project and now she wants one….I don’t have the skill or the tools, but I am curious like the others how you cut the stumps and finished them.

Absolutely amazing. How did you cut the stumps so that the table was level?

I cannot amagine how you dug it up and hauled it in the garage. The finish is great. What did you use?
