Thanks mate! Damn, I really like them. They are only temporary though, we're going to get 8 or 10 tan leather ones similar to this style, we just need to find the right ones

Why not worry about your actual living quarters first? What's the point of a flashy table when you live in a shithole?

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

I like it, but you really need something on that wall to tie the room together.
>>
>>2959524
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
>>

Thanks mate, appreciate it
