Very cool!! What finish did you use??

-- Pat, Colorado

Very nice! I’ve never done live edge furniture before, but I was in a sawmill today looking at some very interesting pieces of wood. May be something to do in the future. Thanks for the post.

I used 3 thin coats of Spar Urethane on everything but the top—the top is tung oil.

Ted,

That is a beautiful piece. It has a lot of character. You could have put a patch on the knot to remove the “defect” but instead it adds detail to the table.

Nice job.

Thanks all.
I search high & long for logs for slabs with ‘defects’ like this one.

Great bench. I’ve got a walnut slab table that I need to put some butterflies in. My son had used an electric screwdriver to mess with the cracks.

I priced some of those large cuts of wood. Oh what I could do with a couple of acres of trees.
Really nice job

I have a few large surplus slabs. I dont give them away, but I also dont charge near as much as most others. Shipping over 6’ is a little high. email if interested.

If you had to buy something a slab like that I wonder what it would it would cost. Wow , that is nice to look at.

100.00 or less + S+H I have Hickory, Ash, Walnut, Cherry, Red & White Oak & Soft Maple. I usually have hard maple, but am running low. They are all under 30%MC….. good enough for butt joints. For dovetails, Jap joints, & more fancy joinery, they would need a bit more drying time.

It could double as a bench. Beautiful wood, Love it . I have a slab that would fit this design. I would be interested in how long it has lasted.
