the cantilever table

This table features a beautiful slab of double live edge redwood, roughly 9 feet long by three feet wide. The client and I thought it'd be cool to design a base with only one support, not only to minimize the potential for leg obstruction, but also to mimic the cantilever of a plum tree behind the table.

I welded a sizable anchor to the leg and set it in concrete in a void in the patio slab. Used about 6 bags of redimix.
Table here is freshly sandblasted and ready for the rusting solution. I used a solution of  ammonium chloride (NH4Cl) and water.

Here it is with the concrete still green and a temporary support in place. See that cool plum tree?
