Modern Rustic Red Gum Live Edge Dining Table & Bench for Arborist

One of the arborists that supplies local sawmills with reclaimed urban forest logs has commissioned me to create a custom dining table and bench. He provided slabs from a local Red Gum Eucalyptus tree along with the steel pedestal base and bench legs. I took the largest and thickest bookmatched pair of slabs to create the dining table, and one of the smaller slabs was trimmed to a wide plank design for the bench. All cracks and voids were filled with a black shimmer resin. The dining table is 50x85x3 and the bench is 18x85x2.

This table top weighed over 650lbs and required 4 of us to move it!
