That’s an absolutely beautiful table and bench, I love it. So western broad leaf maple (aka big leaf maple), you say? Amazing.

How exactly does one resaw a slab that large by hand? Giant bow saw and two people?

Dan,

I like where it ended up. Was this a commission or inspired piece?

Nice work!

it was both inspired and commissioned I do it a lot> when I started most people could not see the grain or amazing Spalt . Client told me size and basic needs , then I show them wood while asking questions of taste etc. get into there heads a bit. wife picked this wood on my pushing it ! Husband was very nervous at first.
in the end they are super happy and I did two other builds for them completely different one walnut , the other cherry.

Yes Broad Leaf Maple -here in the Fraser valley BC well all of BC in the timber trades that is its name aka Big leaf Maple. they are Huge and highly figured here also the one off Sumas and Vedder mountain’s are hard as rock.
Thanks
