Here it is. I almost refinished it. I had to stop because it was late and couldn’t keep the community waiting. (I knife finish) I don’t put a finish on my treen because it gets washed out anyway and wood is naturally antibacterial so there is no real reason to do it either as long as it is taken care of correctly.
I actually don’t know what wood it is. It didn’t carve like walnut but otherwise was very reminiscent of it. I can post more pics of the other half log that I still haven’t carved for over ten years if someone is interested.
EDIT: the second half log says wych elm on it so that’s what it is. The heartwood is surprisingly dark.
And yes that is my super ugly dining table because my kids are still too young to be trusted with a nice one.
