Beautiful. Can you give us the tip on the process to make that long bit?
A friend of mine has an "oak cookie" about that size that he was commissioned to build a coffee table from. It came from a tree that was 100+ years old that blew down in a storm. He had it milled down flat to about 2" thick with an Alaskan chainsaw mill. He routed out most of the rotted bottom to replace/stabilize with 3/4 plywood and to mount the metal legs to.
