Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler Got Wood?

Thanks, I love the table, up close it is just a wild piece of nature. To get the glass in I just left the stump and the glass outside. Hurricane Katrina did the rest - a perfect slice! At least that is what I tell the kids.

Actually, it was a good bit of work getting it cut with a chainsaw and then hand planing it to near level and smooth as glass, with hand rubbed linseed oil. Then attached with a large lag bolt through the center of the glass. I had hoped to avoid the bolt, as the inside under the glass came out really beautiful. But kids kept almost flipping the glass off so I had to bolt it down and cover with the cut-off. Makes a nice optical curiosity. Then I build the banquet seating around the corner, and wallah! Seating for 6 or 7 in a nook to small for a 4-person table and chairs. Saved a good bit of $$ and got something unique that I really like - the Holy Grail of DIY, for me anyway.

Funny thing is, we used it so much that I got the green light to toss the dining room table and use that room as the HT. All the work paid off!
