A friend of mine had some huge pines cut and sawed from his yard for timber beams, and he ended up with a large pile of live edge slabs which he was intending to burn. He let me take what I wanted (free) to salvage some wood for a few projects. This is the first piece of the batch, The bulk of the work was in planing, grinding and sanding to get it flat. Coated with liquid glass galze coat. The legs are just some driftwood pieces I had dried for a different project. It is surprisingly more sturdy than I expected it to be. I am happy with the results. Open to comments, critiques, and feedback. Thanks for looking.

Very unique and very nice. It also reminded me of eggs too. AND the last pic looks like some kind of long lost prehistoric insect! You did a great job on this.

This sure turned out nice. What are the dimensions? Great work! Take a look at fellow LJ Wayne Dailey’s work.

The dimensions are 4’L x 18-20”W x about 22”H. My thought was that it would make a decent table or stand for plants, or just a sofa table type piece.
Now that you mention it, it does remind me of a couple of eggs. In hindsight, I would have put the top on reverse from what it is, but oh well.
I should add a pic of the top showing the great grain pattern around the piths

Impressive. Did you have any trouble leveling the legs?

Like the look of the table. nice job with the legs. Those can be hard to get solid.

Thanks for all of the compliments! The legs are quite stable. As far as leveling goes, I only had to shave off about 3/16” from one leg to get it solid and level. I made a jig that works pretty well for getting the legs close when set into the table.
