Title: Small live edge coffee table project
Post by: Downstream on March 06, 2019, 10:07:59 PM

I just finished this small coffee table a few weeks ago and will be delivering to my customer tomorrow. It is made out of elm. I slabbed a couple random elm logs a few years ago without much hope they would turn into anything good. I was just learning on my ezjr so I would saw anything I could get. Fast forward a few years and I keep getting blown away with the beauty of the elm once I put finish on it. It is fairly bland when unfinished but the grain/color pop once I add danish oil and waterlox. Customers seem to love the warmth of the wood. I'm excited to make more items with what I have.

I'd be looking around for some more random Elm logs too ;)

Sweet little table.
