Yes it is. When I milled the tree, the boards were so nice, I didn't want to shorten them. I knew the table would end up being hefty, but for a one-time kind of project (maybe), I thought I could compromise. The keyed design allows for easy disassembly, into smaller parts, except for the top.

I always did like the more rustic/primitive and robust construction style. In my later years, some of those heavy projects became too much to handle.. The design ideas, for this table, gradually developed toward that bulkiness, heaviness, again.

Whomever inherits it will suffer with the bulk, etc. For me, it was a fun build, but I am also pleased with how it turned out.
