I have had a 80 in. by 36in. 3in. thick slab of live edge redwood leaning up against my cabin wall for 5 1/2 years. I have a coffee table I really like. Its sturdy and has drawers built into the under side. I am going to strip the gloss finish on the coffee table, Then paint it a very dark red satin enamel. The redwood will receive a satin oil finish and will be mounted on top. I really like paint and oil finish combo finishes. It will go well with knotty pine interior of my little cabin.

That's beautiful brotha. I got my first slab today a real pretty myrtlewood and this looks great for filling the voids. Unfortunately I've got some scratches from the belt sander that I just cant get out with either a higher grit or the lighter palm sander. Great video

Thank you. Very helpful and succinct. Did not find the background music necessary, rather distracting.

Thanks for a great video. It was very instructive for me in my upcoming project. I was wondering how you keep the wood from cracking on the natural ends?
I have live wood slabs that have cracked even though they were dried in 2 different environments before being brought into the house where they cracked after 3 days.

From a fellow wood worker, from WAY ACROSS the pond in Welcome, North Carolina, awesome advice, stock & finished product. But Nate, the hair son, ... Damn that's some unruly hair!

How much time did it take for the 80 initial sanding

Hey mate, having a problem mixing my bog & oxide. The colour turns out grey & it doesn't seem to want to go black - any suggestions??

[scusty]

Hi, I just seen your video and realized your close to me! I Would like to look at getting my first slab! do you have a place to come and see your slabs ? I live in Dromana. Cheers Steve.

Great video. Picking up my slab today and your video is invaluable. It's got one hole though the slab about 50mm diameter. Is that too big to bog?

[Ace-igvs]

Is that regular auto body filler or some other body filler?

[alfarydml]

Great work mate... I have a rough sawn red gum slab I am using to build a table. I have sanded the top and it is ready to seal with marine grade varnish. Do you think I can seal the bottom without sanding it, just for protection? Would it work out? Thank you.

Hi, I've got probably a stupid question...what is grind sanding?

[MrThenry]

Body puddy? Oh wow. I never thought. I use epoxy.

[seanwhitman]

I correct my ignorance, thought you fellas were from Australia. Lol My bad.

[scottschilling]

music mixed too loud. Very distracting

[MYPROTIPS]

What is it about that Aussie accent?? These guys arnt exactly Russell Crow’s but I gotta keep watching just to hear how they are gonna pronounce the next word. Brilliant!! I don’t think Americans sound cool to anyone 😂😂
