Dan and Erin at DIY Passion decided to try making their own log side table (instead of buying one for hundreds of dollars) when a friend offered them a stump from his property. As Dan tells us, “It’s maple and it’s heavy as you-know-what.”
Dan now knows why “those stump tables cost so much dang money. This process is dead easy, but it’s labour-intensive and LONG.” Over the course of several months, they let the log dry out, then chiseled away all the bark. Once the bark was gone, they sanded. (“And sanded. And sanded.”) To seal the table, Dan and Erin will have to add sealant every week or so, “likely for the next six to eight months.” But just look at the (still slightly un)finished product!
