you've spent the time on a cedar slab table why wouldn't you go with cedar stump type legs...


i thought about this for sure, but as i was saying earlier, mainly just for ease to go with a bolt on option. plus, my general rule is all work stops at camp labor day weekend, and i wanted to get it done. you're way would def look good no doubt

Make sure that slab is dry before you put epoxy in the holes and poly it.


to be honest i didn't epoxy the bad spots, just painted them good with poly. id be lying if i said how long that had been cut and drying bc i don't know, but its definitely not green. will be on interior, so i hope bugs are not an issue for me

I'd love to get a slab of Cypress like that. If you or anyone knows where I can get one


i get this here in arkansas. with just a very short search i found a few places for cedar, cypress, and others. honestly i wasn't real particular, just went with what was closest and most cost effective. naturally, id be glad to help you, but as others have mentioned, I'm sure theres a ton of options for you a heck of a lot closer. male no mistake though, if you can't find one, I'm certain we could find you one up here

ok... first coat of poly is on and I'm very happy with how it looks. there was very very few bubbles, so i think coats 2 and 3 will be really nice. I'm glad i chose this route, as i am very happy with the color, how it looks, etc. I was nervous about the application, however, I'm confident now that i can pull it off to exceed my expectations
