Billy begins by selecting a beautiful Live Edge Slab of Sycamore and a nice piece of Walnut from our selection of Domestic and Exotic hardwoods.

After the assembled top has adequately dried from gluing and the clamps have been removed, the natural voids and cracks are filled.

After the putty has had time to dry, Billy begins the finishing process. Sanding, planing and sometimes grinding are used in this process to achieve the desired finish.

Beautiful tables like this one can be built using any number of different species of reclaimed or salvaged lumber and just as many choices for table bases or legs. You may even choose to incorporate some domestic and exotic hardwood lumber. The possibilities are endless!

This was yet another one of the beautiful tables built in the Eco Relics Wood Shop using Live Edge Slab lumber.

Great job Billy, keep ’em coming!
