Slab to Table Dining: Making a Table out of a Single Slab

This slab of English Elm was three inches thick, allowing me to cut out all the parts for this table. Lots of resawing and sanding. It is a draw leaf table (Dutch pullout table). The top has two large pegs mounted to the bottom. These fit into corresponing, slightly over-sized holes in the plywood panel. This allows the top float on top of the leaves, and gives enough space for the top to lift up while each leaf is pulled out.

I enjoyed the fact you included the struggle with moving the slab by yourself. I know that feeling and struggle all to well. Beautiful work.

Wow! This is amazing. I always love seeing a slab of wood turned into something. I haven't gotten there yet on my channel.

Thanks!! I like cutting them up, some of the coolest grain is in a place you'd never see

I'm really digging this! I'm making one for myself very soon (counter height, though). I hope mine looks this good.
