Sort of in love with walnut slabs

I just finished sanding and staining Slab 4. See photo.

The sanding takes forever. I fill cracks and pits with epoxy, then let it dry hard and sand it down. Sometimes that must be done two or three times. Just the sanding was tough, as I bought these slabs from a guy who uses a chainsaw to make them, in the field, and thus the slabs are super-rough when I bought them. The top is as smooth as glass now.

Next is a tung oil finish, and then legs to make this a bench seat that will be at a to-be-built dining table that will reside in our to-be-remodeled barn, where we will hold wine-related events!

Slab 3 finished and for sale!

Slab 3 finished and for sale! Sitting bench or low table. 30"L x 16"W x 16"H. Single slab of walnut. All the wackiness you see in the grain is natural, except for spots where I filled cracks and holes with epoxy. From a fallen dead tree. (It's in Woodland WA now, but I can bring to Vancouver WA.) Custom steel legs with felt floorpads, from a blacksmith I like in NY.

This took about 50 hours of work, starting with a rough chainsaw-cut slab. Sanded by hand through six grits, with five rounds of epoxy fill, and interim sanding. Tung oil finish. Stamped "KLE 3" on the underside. The top is mirror-smooth; the edge is live and semi-rough. 

Next up (slab 4) is a twin of this slab--same size, shape, and grain. If you want a pair, I can't guarantee the finish color of slab 4 will be an exact match.

Check it out! The market will tell me if this is good or not; 3 and 4 are my last slabs unless they sell to enthusiastic buyers, in which case I'll go hunt for slab 5. If interested, pls contact me at kenton.erwin@gmail.com . Thank you!
