Live Edge Walnut Console Table

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!!

New Rikon 10" Bandsaw

I just bought this Rikon 10" 10-306 Deluxe Bandsaw from Lee Valley.  Anxious to set it up and get started.  I've been waiting a long time for this!  

After owning this saw for over 2 years, I don't know how I did it without one!!  Very versatile.
