I am fairly new to the woodworking world as I venture mostly in metalworking where a bigger hammer always fixes it, lol
I have a live edge Maple slab that I plan on turning into a live edge side table with hairpin metal legs and need your opinion on the top. It appears that the slab has some drying cracks that run throughout the top of the slab but don't run all the way to the bottom. This has been stored in the garage for a few years so I believe it is not going to crack anymore and are very small 1/8". I plan on getting the moister % before working on it.
I have yet to do anything and looking for some feedback on the finish and general look. I am planning on putting on clear poly but what would you do? Leave it as be, fill with clear epoxy, fill with contrast (black, brown) epoxy, fill with glue/sawdust, etc.
Thanks
