We had been thinking of a live edge slab for our table, but coming up wiht small pieces was difficult. We went to a local guy a couple weekends ago, and found a piece that should work!
Its a cedar or Lebanon, a local 98 year old tree that was taken out when the opera house was remodeled.
It will be finished with a satin polyurethane, lots of coats and lots of sanding…..
I made a leg out of a piece of steel, this will be at the outside edge. A piece of aluminum angle iron is attached to the wall to support that side. I drilled and tapped the floor for the table leg.
Then the top gets set in place and screwed in! It turned out very nice. It’s a little skinny, but makes getting in and out of the benches easier.
I will give it a couple coats of paste wax once the poly has set for awhile. That will give it a good wear layer.
