After I got the pockets done and lined the 2 halves together, I drilled bolt holes in each side.
I then glued and bolted the halves together. When it was dry, I continued to work on the roots which are the legs to get them fairly level and all touching.
You can see there is a lot of variation in the table top surface, so I had a lot of planing to do to get them even.
That's where I am right now. In fact, I got the top planed down pretty smooth and level. I have actually started sanding the top now after several days of planing. My next step is to sand with finer and finer sand paper.
You can see it's an interesting shape splitting the stump that way. The table is about 6 feet long and almost 4 feet wide from end to end. It's taken days of work so far.
Then I need to get some type of acrylic to fill up those big voids where some of the roots dip down from the table top. There are also some "burned and charred" voids in it. I want to be able to "see" down into those voids but have them eventually be level with the table top surface so nothing falls into them.
What should I use to do that?
