Small slab project

[aggiewoodbutchr]

Just to prove I haven't totally been goofing off, here's a small project I built for the wife recently. I used it is a gunnea pig to help me decide what fillers, crack control methods, finish, etc. I like best. Not much to it but I thougt I'd share anyway.

Nice. The finished bottom helps the look.

My wife has the same candle holder (the red one). Vase looks familiar too. I'd be worried if you weren't in TX

Real nice. Really like the live edge. What did you finish the top with?

And here all this time I was SURE you were just goofing off

Nice job, I too like the live top. Did you dovetail those drawer fronts by any chance? Just personal preference, I happen to like lighter wood under a live top like that. Beautiful work though. Did you mill that top yourself by any chance?

Thanks for the comments folks.

To answer the questions...

Woodshop- OK, I admit I did a little goofing off. Those are just cope and stick, flat panel doors. No drawers- I went simple with this one. The slab is from the logs I milled late 2005.

flht01- I first "aged" the wood with a lye solution to give it the warm brown tone, 3 coats of Waterlox, wet sanded with wipe on poly then 2 additional coats of wipe on poly.

Nice job, good way to show off a pretty slab. I like the wavy ends too...

Well, I'm the one in the corner with the dunce hat on :help: when it come to this process. Can you explain the steps you took on this?

The end results really make that pecan look good, I've got to give it a try.

Nice top, Aggie. No proof from me, goofing off.

Nice job on the slab!

And just a tip for people that don't know. If I'm going to make a long
post, I use MS Word then copy and paste to here, if it's a shorter
post, copy your post here before you hit "Submit Reply" button.
Then if it don't work you can come back and hit paste.
I'm sorry that I can't explain it better than this

sorry to hear that aggie... I feel your pain as I've run into the same thing and I HATE that. What I have done when writing long posts though, like an explanation or something like you were doing, was write it in WORD or another word processor, then when ready cut and paste it into the thread. That way if it's lost you still can go back and get it.
