I’m working on one of those for my nephew’s wedding. Very cool!

The wood really is the star of the show. I didn’t do much besides sand and finish.

That’s the beauty of it. Mine is from a crotch section of that walnut tree that fell last summer. Not ready for prime time yet, but i think it will turn out really nicely.

Pretty!
I recently dug out this big slab of live-edge cherry wood that I salvaged from somewhere ages ago and have moved with multiple times. I think it’s almost ready to be turned into something more polished. The wheels are turning.
And I have this small board of the prettiest birds-eye maple that I’ve never yet felt worthy of, so there it waits. Maybe I ought to just sand and oil it and hang it on the wall like the art it is…

Cam from Blacktail Studio does that with some of the “tabletops” he makes.

Even in the picture it looks silky. I bet it is more stunning IRL
Do it! It would be beautiful and if you do ever decide to make something particular from it, you still can
There was this beautiful piece of live-edge wood at the wood working specialty store we stopped at out of curiosity. Walnut, IIRC. My husband would like to work wood but we don’t have the space for the tools or the disposable income for tools. We had almost no disposable income at the time
I wanted it so much. It had this amazing contoured edge. If I had $200 to spare, I would have gotten it, sanded and oiled it, and hung it. Or more likely leaned it. It was huge.
You should take your beautiful wood out and give it some love as soon as you have the chance and hang it up!

Crotch-based home accessories? I think you’re onto something there.

This. I have a huge garage and still have very little room for tools. This summer I booted my power tools out to a covered area of my yard to give myself space and easier clean up.
