I cut down a cedar and red oak tree. I had it milled and then squared it all up. This project was a blast and it was my first table!

Totally unique table.
just wondering what you did with the banding on the end to allow for wood movement?

It’s a beautiful piece with very unique legs. I’m very interested in how you aged the cedar. I have several six foot, straight cedar logs that are 6" to 8" in diameter. I have striped off the bark and have them stored outside, undercover with spacer sticks to allow air movement. Any hints as to how to insure that the 3/4" lumber I plan to harvest will be dimensionally stable? These trees were a windbreak that were slightly scorched in a grass fire a year ago.
