I received that wonderful piece of walnut for a small natural edged table as part of a trade with a friend on the LumberJocks forum.
I filled the voids in the knots (on the top piece) with two-part fibreglass resin blackened using crushed charcoal. The legs are cut from either end of the original plank, giving a little continuity to the grain.
I used a piece of quarter-sawn Walnut as the support between the legs. Assembled legs and support using pocket screws, the pluged holes. Used fastners from McFeely's to attach top to legs.
The table is sanded to 400 grit, finished with Watco Danish Oil, then topped with Minwax high gloss wipe-on poly.
Pic #1 – "Eyes" detail on top, showing the depth of curl in this walnut.
Pics #2 & #3 – Table in my den.
Pic #4 – Upside down during finishing showing assembly.
Pic #5 – Original plank after going through the surface planer.
Thanks for looking. Comments & critiques welcome.
