Forged and Fabricated Coffee Table Base | Making Steel Tree

This forged tree table base is my largest and most complex blacksmithing project to date. The client has a 250+lb petrified wood slab that he would like to use as a table top, and wanted an organic tree-like base to set it atop. Using my power hammer, my friend's hydraulic press, an oxy torch, and a ton of elbow grease, I think I can safely say: Mission Accomplished. Thank you for watching!

P.S. This project tested almost every aspect of "making" I've learned over the years, and I'm proud to say I think I created something that the client will enjoy for many years to come. We've come a long way on this journey, and we've got calm sees ahead. Here's to the next one.
