Live-edge Redwood Coffee Table
Dec 24, 2008
The work of George Nakashima is a wonderful inspiration for me. He is well known for his work with live-edge material. This table is both a tribute to Nakashima, and to the redwood tree which grew somewhere in California 100 years ago. I found this slab on Ebay, where I purchase much of my highly figured and unique wood. It’s 17″ high, and roughly 50 ” long. Max width is approixmately 30″.

Thunder,
I love the table. The finish has such a wonderful sheen it begs to be touched. Can you provide some additional details on the finish and the construction? I'm considering a similar piece and would love some help. Also, what is that in the middle of the table?

The finish is simply a mixture of Waterlox varnish, pure China Tung oil, and turpentine (eyeballed equal thirds). The top probably has 5 or 6 coats. The cherry base has 3 coats.
