Natural edge dining tables

Natural edge dining tables, are made from waney edge timber, to obtain the natural edge, the tree is cut length ways along the trunk retaining the edge, the natural edge timber is then planed to make the bottom and top surfaces level.

The table top is belt sanded, any cracks or imperfections are filled with the dust from the table top and mixed with a filler gel to make a paste, this is allowed to dry, normally overnight.

The top is then sanded using an orbital sander working through the grades to get a very fine and smooth finish, two coats of a shellac sealer are applied sanding between coats.
