Red Oak Slab. coffee/end table

I knew a guy taking down a big red oak tree and figured it was my opportunity to make an awesome red oak slab table. I ended up using my buddies giant band saw to cut them, and it took what felt like forever for the moisture to soak out of the slabs. After that I spent hours and hours sanding, and I now know red oak is super hard hahaha. However the staining and coat of poly took no time at all. But I did blow about $300 on 1" thick steel pipe. Then coated that in black spray paint that gives it a hammered look. But I am thrilled on how it turned out, it is very unique. And very very heavy.
