You Won't believe how pretty this Live Edge table turned out...fresh off the mill!

What happens here

Remove the old coffee table top from its metal frame. Place the old top onto the new live edge ash lumber slab to use it as a template. Carefully align the old top to find the optimal position on the new slab, ensuring the best part of the live edge is utilized. Mark the outline of the old top onto the new wood slab using a lumber pencil, indicating where the cuts will be made.

Goal: Prepare the live edge slab for cutting by marking the desired dimensions.
