One of my wife's projects I got 'coaxed' into taking on.
It started off as a neighborhood project for 'the girls' to each do, but none knew how.
The slab Jane began with had a varied thickness of 4 3/4" down to 2 1/2 but whoever originally cut the slab, included a cut from the nose of the chainsaw that sliced in at an angle... meaning it had to be routered down to nearly 1 3/4" thickness before it was all done. Now, just to sand one side, make a backing plate for the bottom, do some filling and pour the colored epoxy on it.
Red oak.
I'm glad the routing is done tho. Vibrations hard on my old hands. Measured nearly 40" diameter at it widest point so wouldn't fit in the planer and a power hand planer was way too slow.

Dr. Ian Malcolm: Yeah, but your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should.

Your hands are going to be buzzing for a week.
Hopefully, not permanently.
Nice work, though.

He was driven on by the satisfaction I'm sure he derived from torturing that poor tree.
