A repost (from Reddit) of a project I finished last summer. It's made from the excess of a (nicer portion) of a slab that a friend cut using an Alaskan sawmill. Edges are chamfered using a circular saw. Knot and void are filled with a scrap from the slab + epoxy. Legs (and epoxy) were purchased from Amazon. Finish is danish oil + a topcoat of lacquer that I wiped on and buffed with steel wool to make it matte. I expect it'll warp some, and this was mostly a quick "let's see what I can do with some epoxy and a scrap slab", but I ended up really enjoying the process and the finished result. I still have the "better" section of this slab drying in the garage (it's destined for a desk). That's a project for this summer. So far, it hasn't noticeably warped and is holding up well to my toddler's best efforts at destruction.
