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!
