Twin Falls, NH - This is my first live edge piece. I bought both of these beautiful slabs from woodslabs.com. The top is a Cocobolo slab and the bottom is Indian Rosewood. I cut the ridgid coduit from scrap pieces at work doing electrical. Painted the conduit and fittings with flat paint. Slabs I used tung oil and finished with epoxy. Came up with the design to be mounted perminately to a hardwood floor and one side of the cocobolo to the wall.Thank you for looking!

Parrish, FL - I constructed a small entry table using monkey pod live edge wood with 28 inch steel hairpin legs. The dimensions of the table 43" x 14" x 30".
Clarkesville, GA - This is my first project, a small side table. The wood was not identified when I bought it so I am unsure what species it is. It had natural cracks where I burned the inside edge and inlayed crushed amazonite stone. Then poured resin until evenly coated and attached the legs.
Orchard Park, NY - This is a slab of rosewood I think Honduras rosewood. I planed both surfaces using a router and a rail system. After sanding I applied numerous coats of clear epoxy resin to obtain the shinny glass-like coating. I made the simple legs from Ipe 1" x 1-1/2" and mitered the bottom corners. I love the grain and how dark the Ipe looks after putting on the Ipe oil. They went well with the slab.
Mooresville, NC - We purchased a slab from your store. We build this entry bench for our farm wall it fit the theme perfectly.
