Project Information

We were moving into a new house and needed a new dining table so I decided to make one. I found this amazing Parota slab at a local wood shop and knew it would be great. It's 8' long x 45" wide and 2" thick. It was in amazing condition with only a few knots needing a small amount of epoxy to fill. I finished it with Waterlox to harden and waterproof it for everyday use. The base is 2×4 steel tube I painted with spray on truck bed liner.

I had a lot of fun with this project including finding out how irritating Parota dust is.

Overall, I'm really happy with the way it turned out and we hopefully will get a ton of use out of it.
