I acquired this piece of black walnut several years ago. I knew not what I was going to do with it. I looked to the ground one fine day and was surrounded by scrap aspen branches. Thus, the base for this fine piece of wood. The aspen branches were deepened in color with medium walnut Danish oil.

That’s a great piece of walnut, RB.

Is there any special joinery you used, regarding the aspen vertical and cross brace?

Thanks RHM. The base is secured to the top using round mortise and tenon….thus the build-up of material under the right side of the top. Then the fringe hides the build-up, or build down in this case. Horizontally, there are a few strategically placed pinnings and at least one or two of my own “loose screws.” I also enjoy using the Logman Tenon Maker for all my round tenons.

That is a great looking table RB. I bet someone will enjoy that in their home.

Beautiful table, you have a good eye for turning weathered wood into beauty. I have an Logman also, they’re a lot of fun.

More Rustic furniture; I’m slowly gaining an education in the genre. Very nice, RB.

That thing is one beautiful work of art! Looks like you really enjoyed “going with the flow” of the piece.
Nice.

I have a walnut board that I have been saving for years. This is inspiring me. Thanks.

The sawmill owner gave me a whole pile of cutoffs when he was selling the mill, I don’t know what gems might be in there.

Great table

Beautiful, most would not look twice at this slab if the were to see it in a rough form, I really like it! I sometimes spend hours looking thru the waste pile at the mill near our home for pieces just like this.
