Cedar Table Cedar Table Cedar Table Click the pictures to enlarge them

Took a chain saw and split this cedar log. It has limbs in their natural curve for the set of legs on each end. The top was as thick as the top of the carving. I used my chainsaw to rough cut it down and chiseled the rest off with a homemade chisel. All the carving was done with my pocket knife. Time is not a factor when I am doing a project The bottom side is unfinished, just peeled the bark and chiseled the places for the legs to start a fit, lot of looking and a peeping to get it flat. Even the cut where I put the logs together was done with my chainsaw.

Too bad there’s only three pictures allowed I’ve gone crazy with my new camera. If ya can’t figure out the message I put there with all those hours invested, just guess.

EGA,

This is a marvelous table. Cedar is such a pretty wood and soft enough to work, and in your case, carve fairly easily. The carving both of the underside and the top makes this one special. I am sure that Deborah will appreciate it.

Thanks for the post.

Beautiful piece you have to work with. I can imagine what you will be able to release inside of it to make it even more beautiful. Make sure you show us all that you do. Semper Fi.

You accomplished with a chain saw and pocket knife what the majority could not accomplish with thousands of dollars worth of tools. Nice work.

Nifty neat. Well done for sure. All art really takes is “want to”.

Thanks all for the nice comments. Have just gotten a camera so that I can start putting some of my things I’ve made over the years, nice to have someone to share your work with other than just family and visitors.. Guess if I hadn’t had that bad deer hunt on my bike and gotten layed up, I wouldn’t know all you good people exist. I’m sure that a computer would have never been purchased to plqy with. I stay busy trying to get the last two and a half years of putting it off untill I could walk again. I will definately put my projects on. Will put the heart black walnut rocking chair that I made for my wife,(chain saw again) on tomorrow. Semper Fi!!
