One of these resin tables is something that I'll be working on this summer. They are very interesting since besides the wood, you have the ability to add your own art. I'll be looking forward to all different kinds of tables in the future.

Beautiful tables. They look like they are resin clear through. I like that when using color in the resin.

cheers, Jim

Crowie, They are not my projects. It's a new blog theme suggested by HammerSmith (Jim).
I wish I had the talent to make one of these.

That's a good one Tony.Just another table idea for my future build. I like the idea of the wide side panel.

That table has a lot going on in it. Almost looks to me they filled some of the larger spaces to cut back on resin. Either way it's a beautiful table by far. HammerSmith may be right but I'm just getting into some of these. There's a lot to learn.

Years ago, I refinished a Monkey Pod slab coffee table that had resin filling a big void in the center.

It was an oval shaped resin pocket, near the center, about 6" X 12"... Maybe 1" deep… The top was thick, so the resin didn't go all the way through it.

The edges of the pocket tapered to "zero depth" at the edges. I'm sure it was a nice glassy surface when it was new…

But by the time I saw it, it was about 30-35 years old and the resin didn't move with the wood. It was all cracked around the edges of that resin pocket, and the top surface wasn't flush anymore.

I love the look of those resin tables, and maybe modern resin is better than what they used in the 60's, but I just don't trust it.

The biggest thing I see going on with that table, is wood movement! But I don't know, maybe the wood doesn't move anymore after it get encapsulated in the resin…?

I could see using that as a countertop maybe… as long as it's well supported underneath.

As for filling some of the larger spaces "to cut back on resin". Yeah, you nailed it imo… Those fillers look like the weak spot to me, unless they're physically/mechanically connected to all the other pieces that they touch.

But what do I know… I'm just a carpenter, not an engineer ;)

Thanks Grumpy. My woodshop teacher in high school was a purist about that stuff. Allowing the wood to move is essential.

Over the years, I've seen many examples of why he was right. And I heard quite a few stories about it too.

For instance, I heard that the ancient Egyptians used wood to quarry giant blocks of stone. - They would drill a line of holes and then drive wood into the holes. Then, they would keep wetting the wood for days until it pops.

This one has interesting chairs too!

I wonder if you turn the chairs around with their backs to the table, if it'd look like a another layer of onion skin?
