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
