Live edge Problems... How NOT to do a Live edge Project. pt1
What happens here
Once the logs are milled into slabs, they need to be cut and shaped to the desired dimensions for the countertops. This involves using a circular saw, such as a Makita Worm Drive Saw, to make deep cuts. For accuracy, a straight edge or jig is used to guide the saw. Multiple passes may be required for thick slabs to ensure a clean, straight cut.
Goal: Cut and shape the raw wood slabs to fit the countertop design
