a live edge walnut desk

  

we started with this slab from good hope hardwoods that

the designer selected from their website.

here's the cad drawing

we went back and forth on the finish for a bit, but settled on 

a couple of coats of waterlox, which gave a nice matte finish.

all in, all done .. i think it was installed by the designer yesterday

some live edge coffee tables from last august

 sam came back from a jobsite yesterday with some pictures 

of  two coffee tables we made last year, but never photographed 

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 that 

kristian executed flawlessly  .. as i remember, 

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 reinforced 

with a piece of 2.5" angle iron

 

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

we dropped off this fine piece of claro walnut 

to a home on stratton mountain last week

a claro walnut slab from the 'specials' section of goodhope hardwoods

we cut it back to about 72" to go with the clients sectional sofa

it cleaned up very nicely and we routed the bottom for 

a steel base by sam

ready to roll
