#ShopUSTF Post of the Week

I’m so happy to have this one completed! A few months back, I had the sister slab, which became a desk (I still drool over it everytime I see it), but we were lucky enough to locate its sister! I once again filled the voids with Wisebond epoxy, and finished it off with Osmo Satin. Accent lighting behind really makes this a warm piece. Slab was hung with a 90” French cleat, where it was fastened to every stud with GRK fasteners.
