Wow!...Bubinga anyone?

They have one about half that size (without the wane edges) in the back shop at my local woodworking supplier (Midwest Woodworkers also home to the “Wood is Good” brand of Urethane headed mallets). Same Pavlovian response undiminished despite the smaller size.

Maybe pens?
Or maybe a slab table?

Hi Bob;
—-what about a conference table in one of those high rise top corner offices in downtown Manhattan. Which do you do first, find the wood or find the client….in my case I usually first find the wood and then market for a client//buyer. Looks like about 14’ long and 4’ wide, like the ‘other’ Bob said; nice slab table. Would also look nice in one of those large Adirondack camps in upper NY.

GODSPEED,
Frank

That not too many Pens. At the rate Mot is going he would be through it in a week or two.

Wouldn’t that make a beautiful table. I see it as a grand table in a hunting lodge….....OMG….OK I suddenly had an idea. Some of you may have seen the post where I talked about my brothers best friend. Who happens to be building a dream house/hunting lodge on the Columbia River, 1000 acres and almost 3 miles of frontage. I wonder if he would be interested? What a project! I think I’d need some help. Just rigging that into place would be a chore.

Bob, I remember somebody working a huge slab like this from an English tree trunk imported a few months back. I cant remember the species but I do remember that they had a huge surfacer set up to handle it.

I will do some digging and try to get the info for you.

you can’t cut up something that big – you’ve gotta make a big table!

How many Thorsen tables could you make out of that?

I’m shocked this Zebrawood seems cheap for the size.

Are you aloud to show stuff like that on the internet? They should have a woodworker censor on that.
