Who remembers the 2020 midwest derecho?! It’s estimated this derecho damaged or destroyed 7.2 million trees with its hurricane-force winds across the state of Iowa. The storm took a sizable elm tree from one of our clients. Fortunately they were able to salvage some and recently asked if we could help make it a permanent part of recreational space in their workshop. Of course we said “yes”! Our good friend Bob Reynolds over at Reynolds Portable Saw Mill flattened the slabs. Then we got to work filling voids, making the live edge backsplash, sanding, joining, applying high quality finish and building the base frame. We installed the 20 ft long counters a few weeks ago, yesterday we stopped by to apply the final ceramic coat, they wanted extra protection since they enjoy entertaining a lot visitors between friends, family and many beautiful children + grandchildren. We are so grateful we get to be part of meaningful builds like this. We’re happy the elm lives on in their presence. We hope they enjoy these countertops for years to come🖤 We couldn’t leave without greeting the cuties at the end, that little dude!🐑🥹🥰 Ceramic coating: @blackforestwoodco #customwoodworking #customwoodworkingprojects #elm

We use resin to fill holes, cracks, voids•we inlay joints to mitigate movement over time•while we can often envision the end result, sometimes nature’s art surprises us and is better than we imagine•thus is the case with our newly finished highly figured solid walnut table•that grain pattern is bellísima🤌🏼😍
