Beautiful work. I've done a few table tops but have trouble with the legs. Getting the right look and style is something I can't find.My own table, Russian olive top. Oak trim and base. Started with trees. I also made the china hutch.
They are very nice! Now I have another project on the "to build" list.I don’t have near the skills of most of you, but my Father has a bunch of woodworking tools so I decided to whip up some reloading blocks from random wood I had laying around, while visiting. I made the blocks cartridge specific, which I am very much looking forward to using on the bench.

Wow! I’m curious about both the Aspen and the Russian Olive. I haven’t seen anyone work with them. Did you mill them? How does the wood behave compared to other species?My own table, Russian olive top. Oak trim and base. Started with trees. I also made the china hutch.
Good fun! Nice wood character. My neighbors are a little too close for a portable mill or Id have one for sure!
Nicely done. I like to see people trying out different woods. Thanks for sharing those pics and that inspirationAspen is not too challenging, Russian olive is a totally different story. I did start by cutting down a tree. I let them dry in the bark for the winter then ran them through the mill. I let them dry in the shop for a year. Then I was finally able to work with them
I am incredibly jealous of your nice straight logs. I'm working on an idea I have for a 4 sided live edge dining table. I can't decide whether I'm going Valley Oak or Black Walnut. Too many projects!!
Beautiful work!Aspen table I built for my cousin. His house warming gift.
You going to cut the live edge out of the same slab around the perimeter? mtmuleyI am incredibly jealous of your nice straight logs. I'm working on an idea I have for a 4 sided live edge dining table. I can't decide whether I'm going Valley Oak or Black Walnut. Too many projects!!
The Logs I have aren't wide enough. I'm thinking 3 slabs in succession. Trim 2 toa straight edge and glue down the middle. The cut the third to a couple pyramid shapes and glue on the ends cut to accept them. It looks good in my head.You going to cut the live edge out of the same slab around the perimeter? mtmuley
