Last year I slabbed out a spalted maple stump I had found locally in a burn pile. I cut them into 3 inch thick cookies and stack/stickered them. I have been chomping at the bit to pull one and see how it would finish out into a coffee table. Last week I pulled one and finished it off and added brushed stainless steel legs. Good news is I have 4 more cookies from the same stump to use in the future.

I used west epoxy to stabilize the cracks and left the thru holes open for some added character. I also used an application of wood hardener to the entire surface prior to finishing with satin poly.
I love the simplicity not drawing away from the wood itself.
As a side note, I'm not sure our house floor is that clean, and I still can't see my shop floor because of all the sawdust :D ::)
