Massive live edge table

[Lee Schierer]

We recently spent some time in Costa Rica. The one hotel we stayed at had this table and rustic chairs in one of their public areas.

The table top is a cookie from one of the local trees. It is over 4 feet across and 5-6" thick. The cookie had no cracks from drying. One of the naturalists that took us on nature walks told us that since the tropics have no seasons when the trees go dormant like North America, the trees do not have growth rings so it is nearly impossible to determine the age of a tree. I tried to lif the table and was barely able to move it. It probably weighs close to 500 pounds. The rustic chairs were also very heavy.

Lee, this elevates rustic to a new level.

Really heavy ,beefy furniture ,that photographs like an Impressionist painting for a family of Hobbits. Don’t see many of those ,but I think
this is one of the good ones !

None of the staff I spoke with seemed to know anything about it.

Here is another table that was in the same room. Note the size of the tree trunk base.
