    Nice. I like the stringing on the legs. The stringing on the finger, not so much.
    Sharp solves all manner of problems.

    Really fine wood working. Love that natural Pecan slab.
    I can identify with the chisel meeting finger episode. Sent me to the emergency room one night from a recently sharpened chisel.

    Nice job Alex! Did you mill it yourself? Chainsaw mill? Just air drying? Looks great!

    Todd, I did mill it myself, but there is a sawmill up near Denton with a dehumidification kiln that I rent some space in so I could get it dried down to ~8% MC.

    There is a lot to like about this piece. Saving the log from the burn pile, to walnut inlay on the legs, to the cool contrast between live edge and refined cabinets. I fully intend to borrow from your design Thanks for sharing!
