Using two humongous pieces of bookended black walnut, Max and the crew at RDG are putting together their biggest table yet, an approximately 8-feet long and nearly four-feet wide. This particular build will “slab” together the bookended wood, then use black epoxy to fill in the voids and the gap between the huge pieces. “Bookended” wood is basically wood cut from the same part of a tree. The intricate pattern of wood grain should then, ideally, match up creating an amazing visual impact.
This is the first time RDG has built a table of this size from wood locally sourced. It’s a lengthy build too! This is just part 1 of a multi-part series on this build. Follow along!
