This slab is now behind a couch in my living room. Happy with how it turned out. Ive decided I need a 30" planer.  Thanks for ideas and advice. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/ZewBlbt.jpg) Very nicely done TimberRunner. I have a bunch of slabs drying, waiting for me to get to them. The legs you used look nice, a lot of slab furniture made lately has black pipe for legs. I’m not a big fan of them. Yours came out very nice. Used a fabricator out of Illinois. They did a good job. 2" square. A fabricator? So those are steel 2” square tube? I thought they were square wood legs. Neat Yes, steel with an oil rubbed bronze finish.

Note a spoke shave but a draw knife. Start off by having the bevel down so you can hog off the bad spots. That's exactly how most of the poorer examples are done (really over done). Not to say a draw knife can't be used to achieve good results (it's the craftsman, not the tool), but how Timber Runner did it is spot on. It doesn't look contrived or over-worked.

Thanks Brad, but you are giving me too much credit. I just wire wheeled it until my drill started slowing down. I did burn up an old corded drill early on. And an old belt sander working out the cupping. But it was a fun project.
