This is a 2 part series on ” How to build your own Log Coffee Table”.
We will take a look at the kind of material that you can use in your log coffee table. This table is going to be kind of funky and rustic and only have 3 legs. The material we are going to use in this project is Western Red Cedar, the table top is a slab from the butt or flare of the tree. The legs are just funky pieces of the same material that I picked up whilst I was selective logging.
Some of the tools that I will be using to do this will be the Chain Saw, a Japanese Ink Line, a 6″ Makita Power Planner and a Makita Belt Sander.
In part one we are going to look at laying out the table top, drawing a straight line on a curve and free hand cutting with the chain saw.
These are so elegant and classy! Thanks for sharing!!

Thanks Bill, I usually use an 18″ mini pro bar as it has less kick and also because it is not as wide, so when cutting a scarf it turns in the wood a lot easier than a fatter bar.
You have a very special gift and a gift to all who see your work. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks so much
This coffee table looks special and unique. If any shop sells this table, I’m gonna buy one for my dad.
