I have for many years now, planned on using the two Hickory slabs I purchased to build a waterfall edged coffee table. But upon closer inspection, after storing the slabs for many years, noticed that the larger of the two pieces is mostly unusable in its current form. I’ve had to cut out the rotten portion, the critical cracks that went from face to face through the entire thickness have severely weakened the slab to the point I had to cut it into three unequal sections. So my plan now, it to cut legs from the scraps, and perhaps cut some skirting strips from it too. A more traditional under structure, with a modified live edge slab on top. I’m hoping I can pull that much off, without having to break it all down into strips, and end up gluing together a very traditional table top and matching under structure. Boo-urns I say, boo, boo!
Maybe in the fall I will need to go and purchase two new book ended slabs to make the table I’m thinking off. No matter. Wood working is wood working around these parts. Another hand built table won’t go wasted.
I’m going to eat breakfast, quit sulking, and go break these boards down into something useable. I hope! Have a great Monday out there. Lean in or lean out, do whatever the trend is now.
On a side note, we saw Sonic the hedgehog two yesterday, and it was very enjoyable. We have access to Paramount Plus for a brief spell, and my eldest and I watched it in the comfort of our own home. Then late last night my wife and I watched a Sandra Bullock movie about a Lost City, which was decent enough. I have The Batman to watch at some point. I know it’s almost three hours long, so I’m holding off for a bit.
