#30. Spalted maple river table

This was by far one my my biggest projects so far. Due to the size of the table, very difficult to maneuver in the workshop. I decided to divide the table in 2 halfs since I plan on adding an extension of around 80 cm wide (which will bring the table lenght to a total of around 2.85m.
As for the legs, I used the ones of my previous Ikea table.
Wood : spalted maple with large burl parts
Resin : epoxy (if you recognize the brand on the video, I don't recommend this brand)
Total duration of the project : 3 months
Total cost of the project : 1.960€
- wood : 680€
- resin : 1040€
- finishes : 90€
- other : 150€ (router bit for planing, hardware, hard wire brush, silicone, sandpapers, etc)

🤷‍♂️ I don’t understand but thanks I guess

Beautiful work! May I ask where you source your wood?

[@WoodfulProjects]

Thanks a lot. Where are you from? I get my wood from a local sawmill (in Belgium 😁). Still have some slabs to get rid of but people seem not interested in purchasing.

​@@WoodfulProjects I've just moved to Belgium and am trying to find a local source of lumber for projects of my own. You wouldn't happen to know of any good sawmills or lumberyards in the area around Leuven, would you?

@@danielphelps6815 I live near Leuven too. No mill in the surroundings but there’s one in Walcourt where I get the wood from. Unfortunately they only sell fresh sawn wood. You have to buy and dry it yourself. If you want to come check the slabs as the one you see in the video, drop me an email here and we can talk and arrange something. Cheers

I’m intrigued that you used a router to plane? I have to plane some spalted maple myself and I have a hand planer but i fear it will be too aggressive no matter the setting.
