About this video:
My business client decided to save the shipping skids their equipment was delivered on and have me build them a round table for their break room. Working with wood the comes directly from the center of the tree - the same as all construction grade lumber - can be really difficult. This lumber was no exception and I struggled with it. In the end, the table turned out exactly the way they wanted it and that's what matters!

I hadn't seen those figure 8 fasteners before. Very cool!

You could do a little bow tie to put where the crack is to keep it from cracking more and it would give the table some character

Have you thought of using the needle-less syringe for those little epoxy fills? Just something I saw on another channel. Less mess, more precise so less sanding. Love the table! Looks like you could have an elephant sit on there and it wouldn't break!

This is a gorgeous piece. How does it manage without an apron?
