I use a mix of beeswax/carnuba/micro crystalline wax dissolved in pure turps/linseed oil on my tables ….and Stig has tried it with good effect on some of his turned pieces

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
