Pizza Oven Gazebo
A few years ago I milled some Jarrah Hardwood slabs for some friends of mine who live on a farm in the South West of Western Australia.
This is one of the things they turned the slabs into.
Well at least the Pizza Oven table and the seating around the outside.

Spalted Birch Box
Here's a box I made as a gift out of some spalted birch I milled up with my band mill about a year and a half ago... (Been air drying since then.) The birch for the box is made from one board. The corners are mitred to make the spalting lines wrap around the box as much as possible. The walnut for the drawer fronts I had to purchase...

Thanks, should have put the dimensions in the original... It's only 16 inches wide by 10 inches high/deep. So not quite a dresser, more like a really deep spice box of sorts.
The older Dodges are nice. I don't get as much time to play with them as I used to, but I still like tinkering when I can...
Me too. I'd like to try my hand at one.

Here are a few pictures of a four poster bed I completed a few years ago. This is all spalted maple that I milled up. All the components are bookmatched in some order, so the bottom rails are bookmatched and the top rails are out of the same piece of wood, same with the uprights. The headboard and footboard are separate pieces that connect with the rails via Lap joints. (When assembled it’s a very tight fit, with no flopping about).The finish is varathane natural oil .

Thanks!
I'd make sure to keep it inside -- Pileated woodpeckers LOVE carpenter ants, and if one could get to the table, it would tear it to shreds thinking some were still inside!

Couple of projects from this year......
First is a 38" Cedar Pub table with Ash longhorn inlay and slab skull accents on the feet of the table.
Second is a 7'x4' Catalpa slab sign I was commissioned to carve for some local residents at our lake. I actually ended up doing two of these one for each entrance to the lake!
Another commissioned carving on a catalpa slab of the marine corps emblem!!!

Yeah and there is nothing like the flavor of homegrown tomatoes that don't taste like the cardboard that they are packaged in! Great looking storage shelves too!

Nice work there no doubt. How are the legs attached?

The legs are tenoned right through the top and wedged no mechanical fasteners are used.

How could I make legs for a slab table like this?View attachment 270848
I am not sure do I need a tenon cutter to make the job nice if so which size is proper? How do you get that butterfly shaped end on the leg ?
