Live edge if done correctly can be amazing, I hate when people take long slab pieces, pour 20 gallons of epoxy between them and calling it wood working.
I was in a lawyers office awhile back signing some documents. His desk or should I say was more like a conference table was a very large live edge slab. I noticed the slab had developed a severe "cup." I thought to myself, how would someone fix that? I am sure he paid dearly for it and probably disappointed in its current condition.
Not a big fan of live edge, but I do like large slabs in certain applications.
I will try anything once, fun things twice! Just my 2 cents

That will never go out of style. Awesome piece of walnut and well done!No epoxy filler here. Just four tapered legs placed asymmetrically under the slab and tons of time prepping for and applying an oil based varnish that is rubbed out so smooth it feels like silk. That thing feels so good my son at age 3 actually laid down directly on it and took a nap.
obviously I’m biased but I don’t think my family is going to get tired of looking at and using that table any time soon. I sure hope it isn’t a fad.

But you’ve got lots of details and well thought out design built in. It’s a nice touch added to an already interesting piece. Not a chunk of tree bolted to steel legs.View attachment 199469
I doubt my live-edge bar will be going out of style anytime soon...
I have seen several of those that I actually like. But in general don’t care for the look. Exceptional slabs with lots of character I understand more so than just cutting all trees into slabs and selling everything cut as slabs. But their are thousands if not millions of people that want those.Thankfully, I read this post before posting pics of the epoxy river table I just finished for my brother! LOL
And not a single cake has complained about being mixed in an avacado colored mixer. Don't worry, THIS TOO SHALL PASS!Still got our avacado Kitchen Aid mixer, still waiting for it to come back in style, like my ties even tho I'll never wear them again!
I used to call that 'mandatory fun.'Went to a work function (Christmas party at one of my Director's homes. Optional but you better be there kind of thing) just before the pandemic hit.
