Well I built this table a while back. All of the wood is from a single log. I split the log with a chainsaw and used an electric hand planer to face the wood. All other work was done with hand tools (chisels, hammers, rasps etc.)There were no nails or screws or metal fasteners used. I used only wooden dowels and some glue. Enjoy the pictures.
All of the logs... and the one split with the chainsaw...
