This live edge console table is made of a walnut slab from KJP Select Hardwoods (Ottawa, ON).
I cleaned out the knots, holes and cracks, and epoxied them with EcoPoxy. I sanded the slab starting with 80, 120, 150, 220, up to 400 grit paper. Before applying each coat of Polymerized Tung Oil, I sanded the surfaces with 400 grit paper. I wiped off the excess tung oil after approximately 20 minutes of letting it soak into the wood and let it dry for 24 hours. After five coats, it looks awesome!!
