Cutting the tree down.

Cool.
Must look better with a couple of drinks sitting on it though.

Just broke in tonight lol Thanks for the comps, The top is just a piece of BC 3/4 sanded plywood that I burned with a torch and then added trim to the sides.

Very nice! Looks great

Looks great! At first glance the table top reminds me a bit of the operating table from the POTA Tree House. Now all you need is the Tree House. LOL!!

Seriously though that was some cool ingenuity on your part. Nice work!

Actually, that looks pretty nice. Good for entertaining.

I wonder if that was in the back of my head, cause when I finished I thought the exact same thing. Looks kinda like pota setting.

While I'm not for cutting a good tree (although you had to because of the lightning)...that came out AWESOME...looks really rustic yet somehow modern too...I love it...you have some great craftsman skills...wish I had that in my own backyard...

That turned out really nice. Great idea to turn a bad situation into something positive.

[Brad]

That looks sweet Z-man! Great job.

[AJ Collector]

Great job J, I guess you get that pit going when the Florida tempts plummet to the mid 50's.....

[Meule]

Mad Skillz sir. I've been working some milled 5" log beams into decorative posts to replace the ones that rotted coming out of my house, and I've spent 2 weekends on it, and only have 7 of 9 done. Something tells me your tools are better than mine! Using Marine varnish on mine, man, I love the look of real wood with a finish on it. Yours looks awesome.

Hey, Thanks everyone, I'm in love with that bar top epoxy, it has come a long way and is almost idiot proof now to use. I want to put on everything lol. That finish is equal to 50 coats of varnish and hard as a rock. I poured a sample piece before the table and I found it the other day and whaled on it with a hammer and not a noticeable mark, a couple small dings but that was it.

That sounds like the same stuff we used to use for arts and crafts. You could pour it onto a picture and once it cured it not only protected the picture but also gave it some cool depth. If it is the same or simular stuff I also remember it wasn't cheap back then.


Where did you get it and was it really expensive? Just curious as I haven't messed with that stuff for years now and I have a few projects that it would work well with.
