California Redwood Slab - FINISHED!
Have you ever seen the trees in California that you can actually drive through? If you haven't, quickly google that and return to this blog post :-)
'The Beast' arrived back in March and Cathy has been working on it daily ever since. Measuring 3" x 30-61" x 91", this absolutely stunning piece is now complete.
Here are some photos taken throughout the process... enjoy!

Let's just say we went through a lot of sand paper... |
 |
| Sanding the piece down exposed about a hundred little surface cracks. Each and every one was meticulously filled. Depending on the depth, coffee grounds and/or epoxy & CA glue were used. |
 |
 |
| See those tiny cracks where the top of the slab meets the side? Yup... they got filled as well. |
 |
Done! Finished with 6 coats of Livos. This slab is a must see... |
