These last 2 months have been a struggle to get out a consistent amount of content. But with that, we’ve still be working. I have a monster 20′ conference table on the bench, that is eating up a ton of my time. With the comments I have been getting on IG, I wanted to bring some more valuable content to all of yinz with some tips and insights on how to make better LIVE EDGE Furniture!
I have made a lot of Live Edge tables and shelves, and made a lot of money doing so. As i start my own “saw mill” i thought it would help to share some of my experience!

honestly those inserts are not an aesthetic, theyre just..ugly. that's from someone with a design degree.
John, what would you recommend using as a finish for a live edge slab that will be outside ?

Just a beginner and plan on making a cedar plank river table. This was very helpful. What do you do if the slabs were “said” to be drying outdoors for 8 months?
Just started working with live edge doing a cabinet out of 3/4” ply with shaker door and live edge bar top made of cedar filled with clear epoxy and live edge shelves above. So looking forward to seeing the finished product!
I know epoxy and live edge tables are prob only done for clients due to business needs but would LOVE to see you do more awesome all round timber workmanship and video explanations
Question, how many C channel cross bars would you typically use on 8’ long table?
