a claro walnut slab table


add another one to the list ... we sent this one to shelter island last week.  and jim, who made the delivery, says that this table has the best view of any weve made.  thats quite a tall statement, but he was there, and i wasnt, so ill have to take his word for it.  anychoice, we started with the slab above, and ended with the table below.
 
with a bit of back and forth in between.
do we cut of the swell?  no .. its got some really cool grain going on there.
do we fill the cracks?  yes, no, maybe, no ... we used this one as an inspiration.  we made it in 2011 and didnt fill the cracks.  never had a complaint.   im glad we left them.  in the end, they were really cool and kind of sculptural..  but how do we stabilize them?  how about some butterflies on the bottom of the table, like below.  that worked ..
below with the legs still in the bright polished phase ..
and now with the bronze patina ...
 the polished cracks ... no crumbs will stick in there .
 and with the reinforcing 1" tubing structure to bolster the thin  slab and give it some rigidity ... that worked great . this, below, from the client
"Hi Dan, We loooooove the table. I will call you  tomorrow. Just got back from beach and am wiped out. Thanks and best regards, Joanne"
all for now ...
