Table





We slabbed this ponderosa pine burl that our neighbor found and matched it up, cut and glued it together. We cut out a rough block of green alabaster and ground it down into the shape of the knot hole. The knot hole was routered out then to match the stone (you can see all the sharpie marks trying to get it right) The stone was set in place and the edges set with epoxy to hold it. The more intact knot hole was also filled with stone and sealed in epoxy. It set late last night and we ground off the lower part to see the pattern. Today we will grind down the stone and the table top
and sand and finish it. The base will be a large block of black walnut.
