re: Building a Burl epoxy table Update 9/4

Update on the table. I know it’s been a minute. Did the epoxy pour in two pours due to the heat. Well the second pour was a screw up. My ratio had to be off and it never hardened completely. So I had to take it off and pour again. Lots of cursing ensued but I wasn’t giving up.

First pic is trying to get the epoxy off with a heated putty knife. That process was too slow




Finally got smart and used a router with a flattening bit and that worked great. Just super messy. Epoxy shavings went everywhere.



Second pour went great and it finally hardened.



Just got it back from getting sanded on the belt sander. Very happy with it. Now the fun part of lots of sanding.

The table is flat. It shouldn't flex. If you milled slabs in 2019 and they were stored inside they should be good to work with. I'd buy a moisture meter to test the slabs first. You want under 10%.
