This may be boring to some, but I never get tired of a shapely pair of legs

.

A live edge maple slab.

How is that for some sawdust on the floor

I like that, and with your styled lower board, looking like what I've been working on.. too slowly but it is coming along.

These Alissa legs are going to be the key to a great addition to our great room. After 50 yrs of being stored behind the piano, finally breathing some life under that walnut slab. Some finish work left to do.

Tam,

Working on the tung oil and mineral spirits finish now. Will post a finished pic.

Brother BT,

That is one fine looking piece.

You two guys are trying to get a leg up (old saying) on each other.

I took the shelf off to finish it, and seem to like the looks of it better without the shelf.

And I feel the 12 lags from the legs into the walnut top will be strong enough to hold normal usage.... just no beer drinking brawls or dancing on the top or it might tear out the lags. If that happens, I'll need to add the shelf back in for strength.

For my porch benches, the shelf is for my shoes

you guys are so witty! I should have called on you when I was trying to write for the website.

Beenthere - that's a beautiful table without the shelf! Thanks for sharing it.

Moved the table to the great room, and took a couple pics. Great legs and perfect height. Thanks to LogRite for the build.

Now it is a table

. You will get a lot of nice comments on that table.

That is really really nice. I can really picture it since I've stood in that room before.

That slab waited just long enough for the "Rite Legs" so that it could become a work of art.

WDH · « **Reply #13 on:** April 04, 2015, 08:04:51 PM »

I think that it is perfect for that setting.

You guys and Wild Bill are inspiring me to do something like that for my livingroom in Florida.

Danny, better start saving me some slabs for tammy's legs!

WDH · « **Reply #15 on:** April 06, 2015, 09:01:44 PM »

I have a nice walnut one that will do fine.

RaiderBill Hey hey hey none of the legs have my name! There's Alissa, Danielle, Stacy, Rosa, Anne but no Tammy.
