This is the largest Alligator juniper slab Ive seen. These trees grow very slow due to lack of water in the high desert region. I was told that this tree is approximately 1500 years old. Dimensions are 78" long and tapering from 52" to 38" wide. After fabricating the table base I let it oxidize then partially sanded the oxidation off and applied a clear coat to give it a re-purposed industrial look. This has been my favorite hard wood to work with so you will see many of my projects crafted out of it.
