Something out of nothing.
This thread has been a fitting remedy a case of Sunday morning insomnia.
Here is a picture of an Ash slab table I made out of boredom.
When I was milling the log I made the mistake of not using long/full length wedges. The short wedges caused the slab to bow and pinch the bar in the middle of the log.
This slab was badly cupped but I was able to get it rather straight after letting it sit in the sun for a few days.
My first thought was to shoot the slab with some buck shots and make a very primitive looking butchers table for my cabin in the Catskills. After some consideration I elected to throw some legs on it and call it day.
