interesting!
why did they torch the inside the mortises when joining the sides of the top?

Wow, those are some slabs.
Wonder if they were firing the mortise to get rid of moisture and shrink the wood so it would fit tighter later?

My thoughts on the torching was to burn off the surface oil on the wood so the glue would stick.
Or, dry the mortise so it swells when the wet tenons are added.

I figured it was to 'clean up' the insides of the mortises. Scragglies and such.

Proving once again you don't need a shop full of machines to do great work (but I'm keeping mine). Bet there's no OSHA or environmental laws to worry about.
Thanks for posting that.

I noticed that when the old man made the long rip cuts on the slab, they were perfectly matched.
Their cuts with a chain saw are crisp and clean.
Nice.
I actually liked the look of the table just after the last polish, beautiful.
But, I understand the dark stain to match the base.

I preferred the base with the more natural look myself. The wood was quite attractive. No need to cover it up in my opinion.

I love the feet to the table.
