  1. Hi – Thanks for sharing – love this!
    You mention an electric planer, but I don’t see it used. Was that for leveling an uneven bottom? Or did you manage to cut a straight enough line with the chainsaw? I’m trying this but my table is standing an inch or so slanted. Tried the planer but it’s not great on end grain & made the edges splinter… maybe rubber feet of slightly different heights? I’d love to hear any thoughts on getting a level table. Thank you!

    1. Some rubber feet can definitely help with leveling it out! I probably would try to sand as much as possible to get close to even but if it’s a full inch off you’ll probably need to add some extra help!

  2. Is your table top perfectly flat? If so….is it because you sanded so much? If not….is it because you wanted imperfections?

    1. It’s very flat – I didn’t test it with a level or anything, but it’s flat enough to hold drinks, etc. And yes, it requires a lot of sanding!

    Ahh I’ve been wanting to try this – I have about 4 decently-sized tree stump pieces left over from a tree that fell at my parents’ house during Hurricane Harvey. At least they’ll be nice and dried out now that it’s a whole year later! Ha!
