Slabs cut to fit the area its going, ripped out the rotted wood and sprayed the soft wood with a hardner then filled the voids with some silicone and timber off cuts ready for filling with epoxy that will have timber sandings in it to match the colour

Ended up going with black in the end. Will flatten the slab over the weekend and start sealing it with clear epoxy, 3 coats top, bottom and edges, then a marine spar for 4 or 5 coats. That should do the trick to keep it in good condition out in the weather

Yeah we're going to put some more furniture, indoor plants and art in the room to complete it. Probably a thing hallway style table against the wall either out of timber or stone

All coats are done, now tome to route out underneath the table for the L brackets that'll join the leg

Hey man can you help me out?

I just had an epoxy river table made by a local furniture company and theres a ton of issues with it.

First the whole tub is slightly cupped like the wood on each side is tilted up. They poured so much clear epoxy in the middle to make up for it that its like a quarter inch thick in the middle and basically none by the time it reaches the edges. Also the clear is filled with dimples and debris like splinters and hairs etc.

Also they did multiple pours on the clear so that you can see lines in the wood from the coats.

Should i try to return the table and get my money back?
>>
>>2960248
Take that shit back son
>>
>>2951410
A little more orange-burnt sienna stain on the wood for contrast with that blue would take it to the next level. Matte finishon the wood and gloss on the water

>>2955220
Ah, nice. Still the above for a gradient from the middle to the edges.
>>
>>2955217
Sneek the head into one of the photos.
>>
>>2955256

I came ready, winning and wanting to hate it but I cant. It's awesome.

The only improvement would be if you make the water maybe a little lower than the wood. That way people could play with little boats and stuff

Kek!
I know that much of the shitposts ITT are just Bants, but Jeezus Froggin' Crisp, It's kinda sad to see so much of the intarrweebs trying to emulate the Shittier and Scathingly FAGGY aspects of Chan culture.
It's like all the nuvohomos took all the shit we used to say to retards in the Oughts, and made it the way to comment on actually good shit..
Then they lament at how badly SHIT the world is today.
ANYWAY...

Your results look great, Bruce.
I'm sure as you go along, and you take time to "Listen" to the wood in future projects, even if it's only as a "Hobby", you'll be putting out stunning work that transcends the typical, trend chasing shit.
Good stuff...
Pic related is from the remnants of a festival fire. The wood is Oak, and was made into a wand which later sold for $250 decades ago. Sadly I can't seem to find the finished wand pics.
I didn't believe in their particular flavor of "Magick", but I'll take a bespoke work any day of the week, if the price is right and I "feel" like it.

Thanks mate. Its been fun working on these projects and I hope to do more in the future, just not sure what next.

The bar is almost done. I put the first coat on the top side but wasnt happy with it so I sanded the area I wasnt happy with back and I'll begin giving it coats today, but this is basically it, its in place and installed

It'd look sick if you epoxied the whole deck.

>>2952315
Did you buy these legs or build them? I was considering a similar style for a coffee table I'm putting together

>>2963737
I think a lick of paint for the decking is next on the list. Would be interesting to the see the whole thing epoxied though lol
>>2963761
Nah just ordered them online, but if you were so inclined im sure they wouldn't be hard to make
>>
>>2963783
Oh, right, I should have seen where you posted that they arrived. How did you affix them to the table? Just some short lag bolts, or did you use threaded inserts?
>>
>>2963803
Threaded inserts to allow for movement
