Those nice slabs would make beautiful fireplace mantels on porches & inside homes (can be finished to look very elegant & or leave the raw edge for a more rustic look). We use a lot of mesquite, oak, & pecan slabs in Texas as gorgeous mantels over stone & brick fireplaces in our homes & they last hundreds of years thru many generations. We have a slabbed mesquite bedroom set (head & foot boards are slabs & the legs are stumps….very gorgeous). Also you can leave sections of tree trunks on blocks outside to cure, rotate every 30 days for several months, & they’ll develop beautiful stippling
Nice work Luke. I've just had a couple of big trees felled because they were starting to hang over my house. You've inspired me to have a crack at making some slab furniture. Thanks
I love the way you honor the sharp pencil. Thats a perfect observation and shows your level of skill and understanding.
