Japonicus
Masterpiece
I cut this Appalachian Black Walnut from my neighborhood 4 or 5 yrs ago. Unfortunately I lost the 3 legged stand
I had outside. It was too short to be what I really wanted anyway, and too low for a cup of coffee or box of tissues
or place to lay a remote in the living room, but perfect design for this table top. By the time I leveled the top over
the 3 legged piece/crotch with a chain saw, it would've been even shorter. So I'll start with the "stump".
All unfinished to date, but warmer weather will come and I can make more progress.
I will try a toothbrush to get at the dried mud in the bark maybe dampened bristles too
before I stain the bark. Not really sure what to do to get at the dirt yet. Don't really want to blast it
with water as it is cured and I don't want any more separation.
