I finally finished the table. Almost became another five year project. A couple of years ago I picked up a couple of cross cut logs from Herman Borntregger, an Amish lumber guy in Augusta, Wisconsin. I looked at them for awhile_thought they'd make an interesting side table. A friend of mine, Tom, wanted to help in the shop for a couple of days so I had him cleam off the bark. Looked at it for awhile longer and decided that it would look like a jellyfish with the proper legs.
Went into mom's woods and cut some tentacles (birch saplings), cleaned them off, twice, and clear finished the whole thing. thought it needed a little something else, added some blue dye to the last coat which gave it a nice, soft, sea color_you can almost smell the saltwater...
