To all the Lumberjocks out there that have been waiting patiently to see what I have made from the burl that I was so fortunate to have acquired, this is it! This table, being one of many that I will present, was a new and challenging experience being that this is the first table I have ever made. I devoted three and a half months to this project. This table has thirteen Black Walnut butterfly inlay keys, as well as inlayed turquoise. I made the Nick Offerman router sled, which worked wonderful for leveling the burl slab. The finish is seven coats of Epihanes high gloss marine varnish. The dimensions are 47”x36” and 21” tall. The pictures do not do this table justice, but I hope all of you Lumberjocks enjoy this! Thank you.

AMAZING! Absolutely stunning! I love everything about it, the color, the turquoise, the bow ties, the figure, the legs, the stretcher! You made the wood work for you, very well done.

Wow ! That’s one beautiful burl table. I usually don’t go for these but I like the use of burl ion the base as well, and that top is totally awesome.

OK, you won…....drool of the day.
Base is really eye-catching, beautiful top to match. Great design and can’t wait to see the next one.
Terrific job for a first table, for sure.

Don’t care for the one hole in it, seems like a good spot to spill the beer. The inlay looks really good and the walnut looks amazing, I can’t imagine how many of those i’d screw up trying to make them fit. But the overall finish tops the both and just makes it look amazing.

Great Job! You’ve made a piece worthy of the wood that went into it. Where did you get your turquoise?

Kody,
Amazingly fabulous! What a gorgeous burl and such magnificent use of it. How many router bits did you go through to level the slab?

That’s one of the most beautiful pieces of wood I’ve seen and you’ve done a great job on the table as well. Here's the link back to the original post about the burl.
