Live Edge tables

Back in 2017, I had an opportunity to take a class on working with live edge slabs. I had decided on tables for my family room, but had a very hard time with a design that my wife also liked. My wife seemed to think Live edge would give our home to much of a cabin feel. In the end she found a table on pinterest that she liked. It has the live edge, but she said not to rustic. So that set the style of the project.
The tables are made from Alligator Juniper, with Walnut legs.
The first three tables, (two end tables, and a sofa table) were made in the class back in 2017.
The three table tops are from a single slab. About 1.75” thick. And the lower shelf was from two thin boards that I was able to book match.Then just a couple weeks ago, 8/2019, I finished the fourth and final table. A entertainment/ TV stand.
Made from the same wood. The lower shelf was in rough shape, and took a fair amount of epoxy to fill in the voids.So back up to 2017. All I had was a pinterest photo that was a dead end link. Just as I finished the fourth table, and was responding to another forum here on LJ about live edge work. I stumbled across the photo that had inspired this whole project. This time that photo took me to Corey Morgan Wood works.
Here is a link to his Instagram, and contact info. He is a full time woodworker, and turning out some amazing work.
