Cedar Slab Table - Conclusion!

The table is done and delivered! Lots and lots of sanding and 10 coats of my home brew danish oil finished it off. I ended up putting recessed rubber feet on the bottom so it wouldn't harm a hardwood floor. Overall I'm very happy with the final results. This was my only slab of cedar, but I have quite a few more pieces of maple, oak and walnut that will be getting used soon!

Last week I showed you the cedar slab after some sanding. I finished the base last night...Steel tubing for legs, ebonized oak for feet and cold rolled steal cross memebers...finished photos before the end of the week!

Preview - Cedar Slab Table

I've had this slab from a cedar stump for about 3yrs now. I knew the shape would work great for a table, but it got burried in the wood pile. A friend was over a few weeks ago looking at some bowls to pick out a gift for her friend that was coming to town. She saw the cedar slab and said, "I want that! Can you make a table out of it for me?" Below is a sneak peak of the slab after a round or two of sanding...there is some crazy grain goin on in there!!
