No. There was only about 2/3 of the round log remaining, and they cut (a mix of quartersawn and riftsawn) ten planks out of it. All were full-length, but some were decidedly narrower or rougher than others. They chose four main planks to build the tabletop around, with a fifth full-length cut from one of the scantiest planks to wed the book-matched left and right center planks together, in the center.

- dahdum 6y agoOh that's cool, thank you for replying. I got confused by the shot of them carrying a plank, thinking it was the rough full top.
