I built this table for our kitchen out of ash from a sawyer in Baltimore County with a little bit of walnut I picked up several years ago from someone in Havre de Grace that had some trees from his property cut up so it’s all “local” wood. I was able to get a bunch of ash slabs from the middle of the tree, cut out the pith and was left with a lot of nice quartersawn/riftsawn pieces for the top. I grain filled the top and edges with a medium brown dyed filler. Loose mortise and tenon joinery for the base and a water borne conversion varnish for the finish.
