A repost (from Reddit) of a project I finished last summer. It’s made from the excess of a (nicer portion) of a slab that a friend cut using an Alaskan sawmill. Edges are chamfered using a circular saw. Knot and void are filled with a scrap from the slab + epoxy. Legs (and epoxy) were purchased from Amazon. Finish is danish oil + a topcoat of lacquer that I wiped on and buffed with steel wool to make it matte. I expect it’ll warp some, and this was mostly a quick “let’s see what I can do with some epoxy and a scrap slab”, but I ended up really enjoying the process and the finished result. I still have the “better” section of this slab drying in the garage (it’s destined for a desk). That’s a project for this summer. So far, it hasn’t noticeably warped and is holding up well to my toddler’s best efforts at destruction.

    Some of best work is often the simplest projects.

    This may look simple but with the bit of woodworking I’ve done … this is lots of work and skill

    Nice job … It looks great
