re: Spinoff thread neatest build: DIY cedar slab coffee table

Make sure that slab is dry before you put epoxy in the holes and poly it. Even if it was kiln dried you soaked it using the pressure washer. If it was cut green and not air dried long enough it may be wet on the inside. Cedar is a good wood that dries easy and is resistant to insects. If you make another out of oak or other wood borers could be a problem if not sterilized in a kiln.
