Table and boxes from old slabs

You could have posted this combination in any number of ways and it would have been just as impressive. The table is wonderful and the boxes are gems. Great job on all three. Also, you snuck in a little “wood gloat” for good measure, and it is fantastic as well. I’m sure everyone would like to have the burden of what to do with several of those slabs of Claro Walnut.

Beautiful work from beautiful stock. Congratulations!

Nice work Ken. You know, if you are in a cleaning mood, just holler, and I can haul that junk off for you. Robert

Very nice piece. i buy almost all my timber in slab form. (Mainly cause the local guy likes to sell it like that.) I find it’s good to see the whole piece and decide how to make boards out of it.

Great project.

Beautiful table- especially like the boxes. You said “I have learned since not to buy slabs,” Next time call me and I will come and get the beautiful slabs… I have learned not to use straight, milled boards. LOL I looked at the width of some of those slabs you cut up and I could have cried.

Wonderful attention to detail Ken. Great build and thanks for sharing.

That table is very attractive, I hope some day i could learn mortise & tenon work.
