Alright, I've run into a conundrum with the base. I had planned on going with something similar to this. but I was going to use a bridle joint.
The pieces I cut off the bottom of the slab had some bad checking and had warped so much that I've decided not to use it for the base.
Here's some walnut that I have that I can use for a base. This piece is 6"x36"x 2.5" thick.
This one is 8" wide x 2" thick x 8' long. I'll loose about 6" off each end because of checking.
All the suggestions from the family so far have been spot on. Throw some suggestions at me about how you would build a base using these two pieces of wood.
