Oak Burr

[johnny5]

Managed to get hold of a Piece of Burr Oak 5 feet 5 inches long by 26 wide by 2 1/2 inches thick

Looking to make a coffee table out of it

What do you think ? Any other ideas welcome .

I wouldn't..:wink:

I would give it away to my forum friends because we are a deserving cause..

But it will make a really stunning table..

[Bammer]

Not jealous much ....

 

[Pierre]

Can I make a suggestion?

You see that lovely rounded end with the bark...... Well if you were to replicate the same sort of end at the other end (not necessarily identical but a similar shape ie equally offset with a similar 45 degree chamfer ) then it would make a lovely coffee table.

PS finished in Tung oil and not some lacquer!!

Think of all the pen blanks you could make from that there lump of wood
Alternatively you could make a great coffee table with it

Johnny I had a look at your site and this Oak Burl using the same legs as your Spalted Ash Coffee Table would be altogether outstanding, PS loved the site pics and planning.
