LOFL. You guys are ............. Glad I found the thread. Boy there is getting to be a lot of stuff to look at here! Nice stuff there Fanatical1! Really, really nice.
For those guys who are interested in doing something like this, you can see it's not all that hard to put something together. These pics show the color a little better and you can see how easy it is to install a base.
He was talking about your imagination with the table work. Now, you just explain to the wife about your endless imagination with all things wood processing, and the thirstiness that comes with. You see, we are right behind you, here I mean. No, further than that. You see. We understand you have to quench your thirst with beer and the like. Tell her we said your quite okay. In fact, better than okay! Right guys?!
Looks like it would take two men and a boy to move that table around. I made a lamp stand out of a chunk of burled boxelder I pulled out of the creek when I was in 4-H...reminds me a lot of that table base.
No one.... See, I think it's perfectly normal for our firewood collecting hobby (obsession) to spill over (flood or cascade) into the other areas of our lives. Making a bed for instance out of wood slabs is practical ( ). It allows you to sleep inside with your wood instead of outside next to your stacks or splitter. A wood slab dining room table is normal, most people have them. I take pictures of mine and show them to people that I have never met on the internet ( for informational purposes only ) We all know it's a great idea, but the key is convincing your spouse how great an idea this really is . Speaking from experience, beer, used sparingly, (think, kegs ), aids in the mutual decision making process.
Nice! Hard to tell what you have there, oak maybe? They are a nice thickness and nice and long too. How will you be drying them? Have a project in mind?
I hope to get them to the kiln on Monday. 7' long and between 23-28" wide 3" thick. If they dry nicely I hope to make a dining room table. I'm going to go back and get a few pieces 3x3 to use for legs.
