Walnut Live Edge Table and Benches

Walnut Live Edge Table and BenchesHappy Thanksgiving!I struggled for a long time with what kind of dining table I wanted to make. The style of base for the tabletop was always a head scratcher. When we recently invited Mrs Pez's Family over for thanksgiving I decided I needed to do something quick and easy. I opted for a slab table and benches on metal bases.Because slabs cannot really be found that are 40 wide I ended up butting two slabs together. I liked the look of the live edge in the middle and so I did some fitting on the ends and held the two slabs together with four large bow ties, which are actually exceptionally sturdy. The rest is fairly simple finishing.The bow ties are red oak and Osage orange. The finish is Satin Arm R Seal and wax.I had a lot of fun with this project, and the whole thing is done in less than a week start to finish (I started filling holes with epoxy on the evening of November 21). In particular I am now very confident in my ability to make and inlay right bow ties.Thank you for looking. Cheers!

Reverse Live Edge Dining Table

Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


Reverse Live Edge Dining TableFinished my reversed live edge dining table with glass inlay. (the live edge is on the inside, while I curved the outside with my jigsaw and belt sander) It was a ton of work over the past year to take it from 16' long slab of maple (as pictured) down to manageable sizes.I slowly levelled it with a router sled jig and let it acclimatize to our house over the year. I wanted to make sure it didn't move too much after I finished it. It is finished with a wipe on Odie's oil. I filled all the cracks and large voids with black tinted epoxy for a sharp contrast. I had the 1/2” glass custom cut to my template to finish off the table.All-in-all I'm really please with the end result. Now I can't wait for my kids to add some “character” to it like they do with everything nice that we own. (sigh)Cheers
