some live edge coffee tables from last august

13 October 2023 at 21:01
Β sam came back from a jobsite yesterday with some picturesΒ 
ofΒ  two coffee tables we made last year, but never photographedΒ 
on site because the house wasn't finished when we delivered them,
two big ones!
this one is claro walnut, about 4 and a half feet wide and 6' long ...
in the background there is a set of stairs that sam made the
steel parts for .. there is a two story piece of glass behind them ...
this one is about the same size with a tricky 'waterfall' end thatΒ 
kristian executed flawlesslyΒ  .. as i remember,Β 
the miter cut was over 60" wide ... some other photos of
the tables as we worked on them below ..
after it was cut and glued, the miter was reinforcedΒ 
with a piece of 2.5" angle iron
Β 
before the finish
the other end was supported by a sam made steel trapezoid base.
the claro walnut slab had some nice figure!
always nice to see things in their final homes

a live edge steel and cherry desk

24 November 2022 at 16:51


we made this nice live edge cherry computer desk
for a long time friend of the family ...
the steel base spent a little testing time in sam's shop while we
worked on the slab top .. trigger approved it ...
there were two options, live edge up or live edge down ..
glad we ended up with the live edge up ...Β 
the angled cut is the notch that felled the tree ...

cad drawing above
Β the design was loosely based on a pair of cherryΒ 
recording studio tables we made for a friend

to see more of the live edge pieces we have made over the years
