This slab was given to me and I need ideas for legs.

Time for some driftwood hunting. The right piece o driftwood would make a nice base… My 2-cents

I think it depends on your taste and any furniture you already have. I think of slabs as “typically” early American so you might consider turned legs that are moved toward the corners to form an isosceles triangle. However, you could also make a base from square tube iron welded to the shape of your preference and powder coated in a suitable color if you like a more modern look. Or you could make a large diameter cylinder with a foot under it to serve as a pedestal if that looks better to you. I am certain others will have more/better suggestions.

I’d go for the driftwood if possible. If not, a short section of large diameter pipe (rusty and pitted). Wire brush it clean and then rub BLO into the surface. Sounds ugly but really would look nice with that slab top.

Thanks for the advice, I will be searching for driftwood. When finished, I will post pics for you to see the finished product!
