Sugar Maple Table
Thought I'd share a project.
My neighbour was cutting down a sugar maple for firewood.
Managed to save a section near the base and I'm building a table.
Seems like the tree started growing around 1875 and was tapped for a number of years around the 1930-1960 range.
It's an incredible piece. I tap trees too, and love seeing all the history.

17 taps on my 1/2 acre lot. Average 13-15 quarts
Evaporator: Indoor Kenmore stove
The walls are dripping!
Going to make a beautiful table and conversation piece also! Nice cookie!

That is really neat to see. I hope you post a pic when it's done☺️
That's cool! I'm going to make an epoxy river table with 2 live edge slabs of sugar maple. No tap holes though.
