[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3331462, member: 5412"] Beautiful! That's an interesting project. I was at the local city dump several years ago and saw a table top 3' X6' in walnut that probably came from a butcher shop or packing house. It was laminated walnut about 4" thick. The top side was hollowed out from cutting so much meat on it, and there were marks on the bottom where the feet screwed in. Your not allowed to scavenge at the dump but I threw it into the back of the truck and took it home anyway. Took a cabinet making class at the local vo-tech and ran it through the planer until it came out flush. The teacher of the class(owned a cabinet building shop) was so impressed with the slab that he offered me a substantial sum for it. Back in that day, I took it. Fast forward to today, our home has 47 trees on it, mostly walnut. Since they are mostly self pruning and break off limbs all the time, I have a pretty good collection of cured walnut logs. Just have to figure out what to do with them. Have a wood lathe and turn some turkey strikers but that's about all. [/QUOTE]
