The tables sprang to life somewhat by chance. My wife and I were viewing through a regional hardwood supply shop making a selection of wood for some now forgotten project. We took our time to choose through and be crazy about the beautiful woods racked and strewn about the store. Hidden behind an rebellious stack of long planks my wife rolled out two extraordinary broad flat thick piece of horse chestnut. The approximately thirty inch strange slices had been cut just below the base of the tree as they had loose not smooth bark and small rootlets about the border. The wood was tight, grained, solid and milky color. The slabs were three inches deep contained a number of punky (rotten) spots. These spots causing the price reduce to an affordable level. I had an experimental solution in mind to stabilize the punky wood, seal the surface and provide a nice finish. A random orbit sander supplied a free from roughness surface upon which to apply the finish. The solution worked out successfully and undisclosure my secret.

The slabs were each fixed on a trestle leg base cut from one and one half inch popular wood stock. I selected ...
... milky popular as this planks can be pretty green in color. Each of the tables was provided two trestles, a matching stretcher and wedges in contrasting walnut. One of the slabs was sospecial that I couldn't imagine construction as is my normal path and so I had to make a full mock up in disposable framing lumber. With bark taken out, and rootlets preserved, the tables each sit in a living room, may be keeping fashionable magazines. The first living room furniture table sold on eBay and was dispatched to an MD in Cape Cod. The second place on its trestles in the living room of dear friends who work with stain glass and pottery.
