The Phil Campbell table
The Phil Campbell table
Very much like the recovery efforts so far in Phil Campbell, kinda like our favorite past time down here, the table making process has begun, but as always has been SLOW.
Here are a couple of pics of the table at this stage of the process. The slabs are right where we left them after milling them into natural edge lumber back in September. They need to air dry until the internal moisture content gets pretty close to 30%, before they'll be ready for the kiln. I did cut them a bit thinner than usual - but they've still got quite a ways to go.
Although this looks like a lot of lumber, possibly similar to the state that Phil Campbell's presently in, the middle of these slabs (the log) was quite rotten. I'm confident that it's going to make an amazingly beautiful piece of functional art - but at this point, it could go one of several directions. Stay tuned.
