Making a Live Edge Dining Table with a Steel Base
Build Article: http://bit.ly/3bZjgYE
Up until now, we've had a 4 person square dining table. We often host friends for dinner and board game nights, but we never really had a good space for either of those things. We wanted a table that could seat at least 8 and I've been wanting to build a live edge table for a few years now.
Originally we were leaning towards an epoxy river table or some sort of live edge table with colored epoxy. However, we ultimately decided to stick with something that will be more timeless. We did use epoxy to fill a few voids in the slab, but decided to leave it clear as we didn't want to commit to a specific color. This way if we ever want to redecorate or paint the room we won't be limited with a specific color in the table. Really the focus of this table is the overall shape and the beautifully figured grain.
This was a huge project to do in my small shop. Because of the limited space I had to jump around between different parts of the process. Ideally, you would probably start and finish the top then the base or vice versa. However at the end of the day I still ended up with a stunning table. I think it just goes to show that you can still knock out big projects in a small shop. You just have to be creative!
