I agree with Jim. If you are giving it away LOL. Bring it to me..

Yeah these big slabs aren’t cheap, the take down costs, the slabbing and time and figure all add up. Still my costs are cheap compared to my much larger competition.The figure and price is equivalent to burly big leaf maple, but seldom have I seen a big leaf top that was anywhere close to the size of these.

Awesome! Wish we had large Maple trees in my neighborhood.

Off topic, but how the heck do you stabilize such a monster for a table top?

I air dry then kiln dry the slabs. The thickness makes the top pretty stable. Maple in general is a forgiving wood to dry much like Walnut. White Oak and woods like Holly are a bear to kiln dry properly

As you can see, the Leafs have a scathing offence but there are times when their defence could be slightly more air tight. Perhaps bringing in a big stay at home defenceman at the trade deadline to help out Tomas Kaberle, Luke Schenn, Francois Beauchemin, Ian White & Garnet Exelby?

That might not be too costly in terms of draft picks or young talent and can give this already good team a legitimate shot at winning the Wales Trophy and going to the cup finals.

Do keep in mind that Sydney Crosby’s Penguins and Alex Ovechkin’s Capitals are really good teams that might be able to challenge the talented Leafs by exploiting their occasional weakspot, namely, defence when playing short handed.
