Why is live edge magnolia so hard to find and is it hard to work with?
Hello
My best friends were married at the Magnolia plantation outside Charleston south Carolina last summer. They just bought a house and my wife asked since i started making live edge dinner/Coffee tables for a hobby in the past 2 years could i make a magnolia table for them that would be unique and last a long time. I luckily found some 10' long over 25" wide bookend pieces at a friends lumber mill that is 2" thick plus. so I am gonna make a dinner table and coffee table for them. My question is when i look online there are tons of walnut and maple tables available but not much except some shelving pieces available in magnolia. I know it is a hardwood but is there a reason not to work with it or is it just hard to get pieces that are straight and of that length/width and thickness
thank you for any insight
Chris
