The top on this table came from the customer, he has had the piece of oak in his garage for the last 30 years cleaned it up and made up some legs.
It is 5.5 feet long and 30 inches tall

It's amazing how you can turn an old slab of wood into something so beautiful
I love the way you insert the legs and they look like a tight fit, is any of that done by hand?
This is like porn for woodworkers
good job buddy

Legs are more subtle without the heels But still there. Was wondering why you didn't butterfly, but if it's been 30 years, It wont go anywhere! Love your Thru's.

The legs as most of my work a was quick sketch I try to use my first impulse, over analyzing usually kills the feeling.
The heel table was more planned I made patterns, this table the legs were just bandsawed and sanded.
Jack the joints are mostly bot I do run the tenons through the table saw for the wedges.
Brian, Seems like you followed the live edge pretty closely. Drawknife and Jitterbug? Belt? Hand? Do some live edge here but usually quilted so leave the bumps and do by hand. Reminds me of a surfboard. The customer must be pleased!

Scott I use a Makita angle grinder with a 4 1/2 sanding disk 24 grit to get the stubborn bark off then a random orbital to clean up.
Thanks Brian, Got some 12yr old 12/4 barn-dried hop hornbeam from Ontario 11 years ago that broke a Marple's 3/4" doing dovetails and was dreading the tight bark spots.

Furniture with the bark on looks good also.. There is a furniture company in Indiana that makes sassafras table ect. the gather all their wood in the winter so the bark will stay on the wood just for that purpose.
another place that does that is a smaller shop near there. The name of the small shop is American wild wood and Yesterdays Furniture and studio
