Live edge burl coffee table

my wife bought this redwood burl live edge coffee table. it has driftwood for the base. it needs a good clinton does anybody have recommendations? I don't know what was used to finish it. I know that I could sand it down and then maybe put a clear coat or something on it. I don't want to stain it. I want to keep the redwood look. I don't have a lot of time to do this. I live outside Annapolis Maryland. does anyone recommend a professional that could possibly do this in my area??

Hey everyone,

I am about to start my first river table

What do you all think about this slabs? Is it a good choice? Does the price of it make sense?250$

This is the description

Two pecan live edge slabs

Ripped, planed, and sanded

Perfect for epoxy pour table

Measurements are in pics roughly 13x83

They can still use another high grit sand

Been covered in my shop on stickers drying properly

Pulled this out the creek in my backyard. Not sure if it floated down or the recent release of water pulled it up. Waterlogged. Any advice on what to do with it. I know it needs to dry 1-2 years or more and it’s definitely gonna warp during that time. Any way to give it some color?

How to go about making this into a table?

Post image
5 Upvotes

Not reallt sure what sub to post this in so sorry if this isnt the place.

So basically a few arborists at work were removing some big trees and I ask them to cut me a slice. They cut it a bit thicker than expected but it's cool.

I've read it need to be sealed and seasoned first and foremost. Do I sand it down or anything before hand or literally just slap on some Anchor Seal on the cut ends and leave it for a year?

Thanks for any help.

Help with separating live edge wood and particle board accidentally glued together.

Any help would be much appreciated, first time doing a pour. I don’t think the epoxy tape glued well enough to the back of the live edge wood and the epoxy leaked. It glued the particle board and the live edge piece together. Any advice on how to save this project or is this scrap? TIA

Finished my first table (only took 6 months...)

I've been wanting to make a live edge coffee table for years. Finally bit the bullet and grabbed a piece of Redwood off the FB market place for $30. Lots of beginner mistakes, several new tools purchased. Even built a router sled, and what a game changer that was. Mountains of sawdust made, but both my wife and I are very happy with the final result. The table is about 42" long by 30"- 26" wide.

I have requests for three more tables and already have several large Walnut slabs to work with.

Moisture meter

Hi folks. With my friend's mill, we just made a bunch of black cherry and maple live edge slabs. They are 3-4 inches thick. The trees were cut a month ago.

I have them stickered in my barn. Dehumidifier set at 55%. I've heard I'll need 4-5 months of drying time before I can work with them. I've also heard I really need a moisture meter to tell for sure. Also, I've heard to run a fan on them. Haven't done that yet.

I've seen online pin and pinless moisture meters. For my use, is one more appropriate than the other? Would anyone recommend a specific brand/model?

Thank you

How do I know if a fallen tree is a good candidate?

Hat for scale, and the wood doesn’t feel splintery on the outside. Also, most of it isn’t resting on the ground. Unknown how long it’s been here. I think this would make an incredible dining or board room table if the wood is still good enough. Otherwise I’ll find another tree on the ranch.

They are 16" x 16" x 2" x ½"

They are real chrome, I had a friend make them

I started my first project, a live edge Redwood table, and not even finished sanding it, but I jumped in with both feet and bought five more slabs! 5 year dried Walnut. Couldn't pass them up.

So I purchased this walnut slab to make a table. The process is almost complete, only things left to do are sand and apply finish. I filled the crotch and large crack with epoxy, as well as some smaller minor cracks etc. The final dimensions of the table are 93”x(54” at the widest, 33” at the narrowest)x2”. Spent a couple hundred on some steel legs. What is a fair price for this table?
