A mere $7000 though 😱

Once you have your slice soak both faces in a mix of 75%white spirit 25% Tung oil …..it will slow down the moisture loss and potentially the splitting. What thickness are you going for ? Alternatively my wife has used these for table centres at weddings...

Never ventured into turning ….live edge custom tables etc are my focus

A neighbourhood member at last ….welcome

On a good quality table saw it cuts very cleanly. Routing wise …a sharp cutter is best 😀. In respect of sanding the long grain ….it can scratch easily from the edges of folded sandpaper.. I’d avoid using a belt sander. The parts of the redwood heartwood can stand proud of the background.

Second slab (42mm) of sequoia just cut to size on a friends industrial table saw

and if your not careful with sandpaper will scratch very easily too

Well you make an egg first 😂😂

Not the best idea to put your email address on an open forum

I see small side tables 😍😍

….id be scared of marking it when I used it though 😱

Update ….the seller has now offered to cover the cost of the pad as a partial refund 👍👍👍

I got a replacement pad next day from Amazon (£21) …might just bite on the bullet and stay away from this seller for future purposes

Fair enough …but a week off work this week to move a few projects forward and I loose the use of the sander until next week in reality

Was in comms with the eBay supplier today concerning the backing pad that fell apart after 4hrs use. The supplier wants me to return the whole unit inc case etc back to them !!! That’s a potential 4 days loss of use for a simple backing pad …..not acceptable in my book
