Cookie Table by John

believe the top is maple with the legs and stretchers made from walnut.

Many stumps exhibit non linear shapes and depth where root growth comes in contact with the ground, especially on sloped ground. When I cut trees I look for ways to incorporate as much of the tree’s unique shapes as possible. Without parallel cookie surfaces one is faced with the challenge of designing legs of unequal length with the need for solving the challenge by incorporating compound miter angles
