This is my fourth live edge dining table 3 walnut and the one in the picture is spalted maple. I have a cherry one coming up. Who would have thought doing one table would turn into more.

Outstanding. Legs are fitting for heavy duty table.   Beautiful

Simple yet elegant, really lets the wood take the show!
Stunning, I really like this. We're there any spongey areas where it is spalted?

Doing the best I can with what I've got

No spongy areas the logs set for about a year before being slabbed. These slabs were used to make room for the cherry coming out of the kiln soon. It’s great he lets me have any slabs dirt cheap or free.  All I have to help on sawmill day and load and unload the kiln. 
Did you slice up those slabs on your Wood-Mizer?
love live edge furniture. you did a great job, really lets the wood do the talking. gorgeous maple.

working with my hands is a joy,it gives me a sense of fulfillment,somthing so many seek and so few find.-SAM MALOOF.

I hire it done for $120 an hour on site. The guy does excellent work. He uses a woodmizer.
I thought that mill was yours.  I have a smaller Wood-Mizer but it's not portable.  .  .  .  yet.  It won't have hydraulics either so I'll have to figure out if it makes more sense to charge by the bdft or by the hour (certainly at less than $120/hr) to make happy customers and ensure it's worth my while.
What I get for 2 slabs pays for the milling. 
The table looks great.

The cherry looks awesome too.
