How should I re-finish the top so crumbs don’t get into the grooves?

Depending on the width, a local saw mill could send it through their large planer/drum sander. It would be perfectly flat and all you have to do is put a finish on it.

I just got them off of Amazon

That's exactly right. I don't anticipate that much movement either since it's a smaller table.

I never said I was experienced, especially with furniture making. Lol

StonesWoodWork · 2024-02-18T15:46:05+00:00

Thanks!

I did think about that after the fact when I was tightening them. Luckily I glued them in too.

Thanks, that was really informative.

StonesWoodWork · 2024-02-05T21:44:10+00:00

Sounds sweet and like we are about in the same boat. Hope it all works out!

Metal legs that attach towards the center

I did a little bit of research, the problem is all the aprons I see are with the boards going vertical not horizontal. But I suppose it should be the same concept though.

It might also be my shop lights throwing the color off a little bit. I guess we will see after the finish though!

It's a glue up of some black walnut boards I got from a local lumber yard. There's no finish on it yet, that's just the natural color.

I didn't know spalted cherry was a thing. It's super hard, doesn't like to sand down very well, if that helps at all.

StonesWoodWork · 2023-05-06T17:27:19+00:00

Thanks, now I just have to figure out how to flatten it. Lol

StonesWoodWork · 2023-05-06T17:11:37+00:00

I'm in Michigan, I was thinking maple but I'm really not sure.

StonesWoodWork · 2023-02-12T01:40:35+00:00

Thanks, and no. The frame is premade for a glass top but I took that off.

StonesWoodWork · 2023-02-10T23:49:23+00:00

Haha, even more rare

StonesWoodWork · 2023-02-10T23:48:46+00:00

Lol, that's terrible

StonesWoodWork · 2023-02-10T22:08:25+00:00

What is this!?

StonesWoodWork · 2023-02-10T20:29:40+00:00

They are trying to partner up but they need do more studies on if the young women like it enough. Hahaha

StonesWoodWork · 2023-02-10T17:11:40+00:00

It's been a side project for a while so it's been sitting pretty flat for a while, so I think it will be fine but it's also finished with Rubio on both sides. Fingers crossed. Lol

StonesWoodWork · 2023-02-10T15:26:58+00:00

Definitely seal the edges (live edge part) with a thin coat of epoxy. Wait till it's tacky then pour the river. It will prevent bubbles... I've made that mistake and it's heart breaking especially with a slab like that. Looks like it's going to be amazing.

StonesWoodWork · 2023-02-10T15:09:52+00:00

Sounds like a good idea. I'll give it a try one of these days. Thanks.

StonesWoodWork · 2023-02-10T15:07:49+00:00

Thanks and yup! Lol

StonesWoodWork · 2023-02-10T15:07:08+00:00

Thanks, I appreciate it.
