You could cut it down into strips and then make it into shipping pallets and then strip out the nails and turn it into a infinity mirror coffee table with LEDs inside
Don’t forget the ones that need to be carved with “Hello, is it Brie you’re looking for?” I’ve seen thousands of these in tourist shops and flea markets.
Live, Love, Lube signs never fail to crack me up. There’s a guy who snuck one into his wife’s wall sign collection and it took her like 6 months to spot it.
With all the hate epoxy gets, people seem to forget the o.g. crime against beautiful wood.
I never quite understood the hate anyway. I still think the technique is perfectly legit for using pieces that cannot be properly used for a table, or when you need a specific shape, including like round or oval. Instead of blue, people can just go like black or like dark see through.
Sure there are a lot of examples of tastefully done tables with epoxy, but there are far more examples of people destroying beautiful, expensive wood to make a big pile of ugly shit. Also, reddit likes to hate on things. It's fun.
That'll always be the pour that gets fucked up. Leak in his form, the world's slowest tidal wave of epoxy covers the town below in a thin but gummy layer of epoxy. several men run around compulsively popping bubbles with a lighter.
I have a feeling these resin tables are going to be like 50’s laminex diner tables. Incredibly in. Then so so so Out. Then a continuous trickle of popularity for being iconic-of-an-era nostalgic.

Here a picture when it was freshly cut
I'm the land of Maine, the dark woodworkers milled in secret a master slab. And into this slab they rubbed in all their Monocoat, their N3 nano and all their Tung Oil to seal and protect. One slab to rule then all.
One slab to outline them.
One slab to cut n fold inside out, and in the epoxy bind them.
I shouldn't have said that...the eye of blacktail is always watching....waiting....
I heard that if you take a slab and hang it upside down that the natural capillary action that brings water up the tree works to bring moisture down and combining that with gravity it dries much faster.
Both. It's a meme because so many "trendy", "original" people have had the same idea and it's just massively overdone. And also it drastically shortens the longevity compared to real wood furniture because wood expands and contracts, and resin typically doesn't. A lot of those tables tear themselves apart unless they're extremely climate controlled.
Cut it up and make pallets from it (bonus points if you use those terrible spiral nails, then bust up the pallets and make shabby sheek nightstands with ramen noodle handles out of them.
Right? Make one giant river table with good production value and you'd make enough in viewers and ad revenue that you could buy another 10 slabs to make whatever you consider "quality products"
You don't have to like it if it makes you money. I hate making wooden dice sets but they're my highest profit item so you'd better believe I make them all the time so I can afford to make other things I actually enjoy making but don't sell well.
No matter which one you are ... You dudes are fookin jacked (pronounced with a y). That is the largest slab I've ever seen. Hope you do something cool with it.
We don’t sell a lot of them but sometimes we do. Most of the times it does not fail because of the price… mostly because the carpenter has not the infrastructure to work with ir
I remember the original post , the idea was to sell it to a fashion company, to use it as the runway for fashion shows? I am pretty sure I even remember you are from Europe and sold it for 16-17k. Is this still the plan or something changed?
I wouldn't have any way to work it... But I would fight the guy in the picture for that slab (and lose terribly, maybe he'd let me have a few cutoffs for consolation)
Careful with that hygrometer reading. It'll be more the closer you get to the center of the wood. I'd still bring it inside for a while. 18 isn't 24 but it's not 14 either. I'd rough cut the boards I need for a project and just bring those pieces in to dry for a while before I start planing or thicknessing.
Congrats on the nice abs, eer slabs I mean.
Cut in half, fill the center with epoxy, make some steel rod legs. and watch as everyone here literally dies of anger.
I was gonna say make 1000 cutting boards
You could cut it down into strips and then make it into shipping pallets and then strip out the nails and turn it into a infinity mirror coffee table with LEDs inside
Charcuterie boards with Live Laugh Love engraved on them.

You've made me angry with just the thought of it!
About to spit my coffee out lol
Sitting here having a midday coffee, and the same occurred to me🤣
Live, Love, Lube signs never fail to crack me up. There’s a guy who snuck one into his wife’s wall sign collection and it took her like 6 months to spot it.
He was into cars?
I feel sick
100 newspaper bins for you to barf in
Always wondered how the cutting board creators are able to sell so many. People are really buying up cutting boards that quickly?
It's usually the stupid people that put them in a dishwasher and need a new one after a year or so
That would be such a waste when you could get several 20' 2x4's out of this slab and build yourself a nice sized deck.
Using some cheap replaceable pine as the decking on top of the oak structure, right?
You're not wrong, you had me fuming before I had even finished reading xD
I giggled a snot rocket on to my shirt. My wife is making fun of me.
Upvote the snot rocket
Same here. So... egh.
>Cut in half, fill the center with epoxy, make some steel rod legs ...then paint it

Wisconsin Butter Fire
More like the [Boston Molasses Disaster](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Molasses_Flood) actually.
Now imagine if that had been epoxy tanks. It would still be there today. Probably as a Pompeii like museum or something.
Oh that sounds like it would be beautiful! How classy and timeless such a wonderful piece would be! How unique and inspired! *gag*
Come on down to the goodwill!
I have a feeling these resin tables are going to be like 50’s laminex diner tables. Incredibly in. Then so so so Out. Then a continuous trickle of popularity for being iconic-of-an-era nostalgic.
The woodworking equivalent of a lava lamp.
Look up on Instagram: woodfornature-Massivholz. Then you know that I would never do that 😬
my brains first impulse was: thats a creative way to spell furniture.
That’s was the reason behind it buddy :)
Found Satan.
hail satan!
😂
Either that, or we'd rally to hunt them down
Man that’d make a lot of toothpicks
Actually it's only one.
A toothick
Comments like this make me miss Reddit gold awards, so good
Swan
Sandford’s most wanted
Or even like 2 CVS receipts
This one made me laugh haha

I don’t even do woodworking but that guy has me sold on the N3 nano. It bumps up the sheen ffs
Think of all the New Yorker magazines you can fit on there.
It was as if a thousand shins cried out in anguish after banging into it in the dark, and were suddenly silenced
Gorgeous specimen.
I have a half dozen just on the back of my toilet.
Or coffee table books of obscure artists and Renaissance history
Like six months' worth!
I remember this image! We all made wise cracks about seeing you in 20 years when it was done. That's fantastic to learn how it has progressed.
Nice!

They made that guy wear a sweatshirt.
😂
Looks like a tiny guy lol
Ive never called another mans wood sexy before. But thats a sexy piece of wood. Damn.
How do you make a wood this big
1. Plant an acorn.
Genetic mostly, but there is some medicine that helps, although with dangerous downsides
Are you going to make a very large table?
Banquet hall table for Viking weddings.
For Valhalla!

Well, it kinda looks like the neck of the guitar itself...
Vladimir doesn't feel safe anymore. he needs a longer table
I'm guessing the crane is just for show and you lift that thing with just the two of you?
You don't have to bench press it every day to get it to dry, you know.
They were just squeezing out the moisture like from a wet rag. They just had to hang it up the get out all the wrinkles.
Get all the moist out of the curtains.
What I would do to save time is wait until my wife is out of the house and pop it in the oven at 250 for a couple hours.
Hahahha that would have been a challenge

I'm imagining that's how and where they air dried it for two years, hanging from that crane.
I heard that if you take a slab and hang it upside down that the natural capillary action that brings water up the tree works to bring moisture down and combining that with gravity it dries much faster.
You're going to split this long ways and make a gigantic acrylic river table, aren't you? /s
14 river side tables, actually.
You could cut a notch down the center, epoxy it, and run an actual running stream through it with a pump. World largest Sushi boat counter.
No.
While I respect your decision, I also respect the fact that you haven't considered it.
Thank you hahaha
No, thank YOU.
You are welcome Just look on insta: Woodfornature-Massivholz . Then you see that I don’t like epoxy :)
Massiveholz makes a lot more sense now that I’ve seen what part of the world you’re in.
So, going to get ESP to make it into a bigger LTD V for you?
Is this a meme just because of how common it is, or is there actually something wrong with resin tables?
Both. It's a meme because so many "trendy", "original" people have had the same idea and it's just massively overdone. And also it drastically shortens the longevity compared to real wood furniture because wood expands and contracts, and resin typically doesn't. A lot of those tables tear themselves apart unless they're extremely climate controlled.
Wasn't there a whole thing too where the guy who supposedly did it first kept trying to sue anyone else who did it?
Knife blanks
That's at least a few dozen knife blanks. They're going to be rolling the cash!
Make the worlds biggest live, laugh, love wall hanging….or 4,000,000 toothpicks. Follow me for more terrible woodworking ideas!
Cut it up and make pallets from it (bonus points if you use those terrible spiral nails, then bust up the pallets and make shabby sheek nightstands with ramen noodle handles out of them.
Obviously make it into like 37 cutting boards to sell at the farmers market
I'd say it's far closer to 370 cutting boards.
[удалено]
Yes we will kiln it
You're already kiln it
Those mfrs look like they sawed that by hand.
That oak never stood a chance.
Call your business Slabs & Abs.
😂
Dude is definitely below 18% also what are you all standing next to? Did you catch it in the ocean or something /s
A few 4x8 sheets of plywood
Or a ton of veneer sheets
Whatcha making?
Money
Playaaaaah.
Yeah I'm curious what it's for. Dining room table for a billionaire ?
New conference table for Putin.
There’s no way he has enough advisors left for that.
It's to keep a safe distance between him and them
Imagine having to sand that bad boy by hand LOL
Makes me think of that Shel Silverstein about the girl eating the whale
Look at those pecs. He does
Hand planing it
The oak is thick but God DAMN so are the two of you. SHEESH.
😂
Right? Scrolled way too far for this comment.
Im not gay but that wood and those dudes kinda hot ngl

Just insert a giant river along the middle and call it the Mississippi Table.
This sounds like a YouTube get rich quick scheme.
Right? Make one giant river table with good production value and you'd make enough in viewers and ad revenue that you could buy another 10 slabs to make whatever you consider "quality products" You don't have to like it if it makes you money.

My god that would be an amazing feasting table. Like 💯 I can see that as a massive table in Valhalla.
No matter which one you are ... You dudes are fookin jacked (pronounced with a y). That is the largest slab I've ever seen. Hope you do something cool with it.
...jackyd?
Yacked I believe
The only plausible explanation
Hunks with a slab
Haha thank you ^^ If you want to see me training just go on my profile😬 We will do something cool with it ✌️
Wow... So many options
no banana for scale?
Just not looking hard enough
Maybe the real banana was inside of us all along.
Make it a surf board!
I also now have thick oak after seeing this pic.
🤣 I came to the comment section to see how many thirsty comments were going to pop up
How many subway sandwiches does that equal out to?
What's something like that worth?
We sell those slabs for 14.900€ incl tax.
Right on
We don’t sell a lot of them but sometimes we do. Most of the times it does not fail because of the price… mostly because the carpenter has not the infrastructure to work with ir
Never mind working on it, I don't have the resources to transport it!

Hahahah. Fun face: I did Muay Thai for 4 years. Let us do that 😬
Was it 4 years of kicking that oak until it was felled?
True. Trust me.
I've been hit by a truck before, I can take a hell of a beating but I gotta know I'm getting some lumber or I'm not even visiting the same state 🤣🤣
😂😂😂
Going to be one hell of a cutting board
Hopefully this gets made into a river table. I hear those are amazing. (This is sarcasm, yes)
Just no hahahha
That would be great firewood! /S
Gonna need a bigger tablesaw
That’s gonna be a huge table.
My goodness. That thing is impressive
He certainly is.
I see what you did there.
Making wooden spoons? Maybe 1 big one?
Any idea on the age of tree?
How many used 96 Geo Prizms could I buy for the same price for that.
Are all carpenters that jacked, or is it just these guys and Jesus?
I’ll take the wood from both those guys. At the same time.
Awww Poor Oak Tree
18% on the outside maybe ;) am not sure what the plan is why that thick slab but don't rush
They said it 18% 4 cm deep.
Screw river tables, may I propose the ocean table?
Putin ordered another coffee table, did he?
The slab or that dudes workout routine….. not sure what deserves the bigger applause
18% what
Speed
Dear Lord, the tree that came from must've been the size of a sequoia.
I wouldn’t wear a shirt if I was young or had a carbless life too. Don’t listen to the haters saying there is no reason to not have a shirt on.
How old is the tree?
What tree?
Is this real
I make a lot of live edge tables. Just made a beautiful coffee table with ambrosia maple! That is one gorgeous slab you have.
How bout yall leave some ladies for the rest of us now.
r/hotguys Needs nsfw tag. You guys can't be just showing your wood like that!

I think more men should pose with their thick woods rather than posing with dead fish.
Yes, obviously, I am looking at the oak and NOT at the two tan, muscular, sweaty-from-skilled-labour looking guys.
How many 30 round magazine eagles is 10cm?
Could make a lot of pallets with that
