How to make a table from saw cut wood with your own hands.

Not everyone can see in the slab of marble or the same piece of wood something magnificent. Even fewer people can not just see, but bring it to life. To make a table out of a tree cut is a difficult task, but very real. Enough of having a desire to achieve the goal.

The result will be a unique handmade table.

The choice in favor of natural furniture for several reasons.

• Wood products are environmentally friendly. Considering that modern furniture is made from toxic materials.
  
  

  Sustainability is a clear advantage.

• Saving on material and payment of services of the master, if done with your own hands. Handmade products are very expensive, and not even because of the price of materials, but primarily because of the services of a designer, a craftsman.
  
  

  The table made of wood cut will become a reliable and original element of the decor of your home.

  Many have seen tables with wooden tops, but few know that this unusual option can be done independently.

The only drawback of the choice is the difficulty of selecting the interior. Undoubtedly, the table will be a bright detail, but agree that in the manor a la “baroque” or “high-tech” it will look wild.

The manufacturing process will require a certain amount of time, but in the end you will receive a unique product that you are unlikely to meet with someone else.

Choosing a table design

So the first thing you need is time. Such crafts require perseverance, thoroughness, and, consequently, time-consuming. But then they will look beautiful by the fireplace!

It is necessary to determine the appearance and purpose of the table. Particular attention in the design should be given to the legs.

The choice of table top is determined by its shape.

• For round you need a lot of space. This must be taken into account.
  
  

  If you have enough space, the round version will look great in the interior.

• For a large family suitable oval model.
  
  

  At such a table, the whole family will be able to gather at dinner or spend family holidays.

• Want to create a small coffee or coffee table for the living room?
  
  

  For such a table you need a small oval shape.

• More versatile — rectangular shape.
  
  

  This form allows you to simulate folding or portable models.

As you have noticed, the choice of tabletop depends on the purpose and possibilities of the room.

Varieties of tables by the number of legs.

• Single leg (one leg).
  
  

  Optimal choice of round tabletop.

• Duplex (two legs).
  
  

  To fix between the legs set support.

• Traditional (four legs).
  
  

  The most sustainable option.

Modeling options are many. It all depends on your imagination and desires. These are all your ideas. How do you want to see the result?

Combine different shapes and types.

So, you have decided on the design. Sumptuously! But now you need to prepare materials - in fact, from what the table will be made. First of all, sawn cuts will be required.

The size and number of cuts depends only on the project.

You will also need a piece of plywood for the base, epoxy resin with a hardener to fill the voids between the cuts, wood glue and an electric grinder.

Perfect cuts: where to find?

The master novice thinks that in order to create such a product, it is enough to go out into the courtyard or into the woods, pick a suitable log and cut “circles” for decoration. But not everything is so simple.

To prepare sawn yourself, you need to spend a lot of work and time.

But if you make a mistake, everything will have to start over again, since it’s impossible to work with cracked discs. You can find a supplier on the Internet. The main advantage of the finished cuts is that they have already been processed and after the purchase you can begin to realize your dreams.

You can buy cuts on the sawmill, which will be a budget option, and the choice of the most drawings is huge.

The only drawback is the processing problem. The peculiarity of hand-made furniture is that it is unique and exists in a single copy. When selecting cut it is necessary to take into account the future drawing of the table top itself.

To make it interesting, it is necessary to select cuts of different diameters and the required number.

The picture itself cut also matters. After all, it is the highlight of the future product. Ideally, for more convenience, draw a layout to not improvise, but to know exactly the expected result. Then you will avoid disappointment in the final result.

You can use wood of the same type, or compose various options.

Select the right material:

1. Cuts must be dry, and preferably - from the wood, resistant to moisture.
2. There should be no knots on the workpiece, as they can break away.
3. Pay attention to the thickness of the cut. Too thin can break up, and a thick weights hack, make it coarse.
   
   

   It is better that the thickness was from 30 to 50 millimeters.

4. Avoid low material prices, as very often the cost — This is an indicator of quality. The product of low-grade material will not last long. Why waste time and energy?
5. Each end should be well glued, so you need to buy the optimal amount of glue, so as not to save it in the process.
6. After working with a grinder, an emery paper is required, its grit should be between 120 and above.
   
   

   Glue-resin for wood.

Instructions for making the table

The design is selected, the tools and consumables are at hand - now is the time for real male work. More precisely, go directly to the technical part.

1. First, prepare the material. We clean the bark and all the irregularities. Roughness should be minimal, so this stage can not be performed carelessly. As tools, you will need a flat screwdriver or chisel, gloves (to avoid hurting your hands), a metal brush, a grinder, and emery paper.
   
   

   As a result, you should have perfectly cut cuts, no knots and bark.

2. Create a foundation. Fasten to the base with furniture screws. But be careful not to damage the structure.
3. Next, we fix all the wooden elements with wood glue in the desired position - both cuts and legs.
   
   

   For strength, apply carpenter glue in the holes, and then fasten each leg with long screws to the surface of the table.

4. Before filling the sections with resin, the sides should be made along the edge of the tabletop. We fill all voids with epoxy, with its color you can work by adding additional elements to the composition, thereby achieving the desired shade for the table: coffee color (bronze powder and soot), white (chalk), black (soot), gray (cement ).
   
   

   You can buy pigments of various colors.

5. After the resin has hardened, surface grinding is assumed. It must be done with great care, so as not to destroy the result of previous labors. The result will be a table with a pronounced pattern saw cut.
   
   

   The process uses a grinder and sandpaper.

6. And finally, there is only varnish coating. You want the result of your work to last as long as possible? Then the choice is for polyurethane varnish. Naturalness can be achieved by choosing a colorless varnish. As an alternative to the varnish can serve as natural oils: linseed, linseed oil, decorative oil.

Varnish must cover 7 layers, each layer is pre-treated with sandpaper to form a more reliable coating.

Implementing such a project is not so easy. Moreover, it is persistent hard work, in the process of which the master requires patience, dedication and hard work. But such an element of the interior will attract much more attention than the boring piece of furniture bought in the store.

Your work will be rewarded.

Self-made furniture - pride for the owner

You have created a beautiful woodwork. But you ask the main question, where to put it? You can put it in the living room or dining room and just cover it with a tablecloth. But is it really necessary to hide such beauty, because it is the highlight in the tabletop.

Styles of the interior, in which the table will look appropriate.
