Another project maybe?So many coasters...
Oh! Excellent idea!!Another project maybe?
I used an orbital sander. I rounded the edges just a little bit and sanded up to 800 gritVery nice! I just bought a slab yesterday to do the same thing.....one question...what did you use to do sand the edges?
Thanks Brandy!!! I hope mine looks as good as yours when done.....I used an orbital sander. I rounded the edges just a little bit and sanded up to 800 grit
You're too kind!Thanks Brandy!!! I hope mine looks as good as yours when done.....
I just bought a walnut slab that looks similar. What dimensions is it? Did you have to sand or plane the top/bottom? It looks great. Hope mine turns out as well!Finally finished my coffee table. It's the first one I've made and I think it's not too bad!
I'd have to measure it to get you exact dimensions but it's about 4 feet long and I think 18" at the widest part? Sorry, I'll have to pop out to the shop and grab a tape measure tomorrow.I just bought a walnut slab that looks similar. What dimensions is it? Did you have to sand or plane the top/bottom?

Thanks for the info. I got mine from a guy who cuts up logs people give him. I'll look at tomorrow and see if I need to plane it. I have a friend who does this for a living, he said Tung oil is great for these things but I have not used it. Possibly some the pros on the forum might weigh in on the finishing angle.I'd have to measure it to get you exact dimensions but it's about 4 feet long and I think 18" at the widest part?

I got it from a sawmill and so I had to get my dad to run it through his giant sander (we had to cut one end a down a tad to make it fit). I may redo the finish. I used walrus oil and wax but it's not holding up terribly well.
