    It was a lot of work for several reasons (1) every surface had cracks or other openings needing filling (2) resin continued to recede below flush of surrounding surfaces when hardening requiring followup resin applications (3) removal of bubbles using heat gun or torch did nothing for late stage bubble formation eventually requiring excess resin (above flush) so sanding would remove bubbles with subsequent grinding/sanding, (4) using brown resin to fill cracks and knots and blue to simulate the water (5) and myriad bonehead mistakes during the making of this table. But I learned so much and as a result am much less fearful of my next resin project, incidentally a side table of the same wood, carob.
    I've decided in retirement that I wanted to challenge myself with these projects. But I tend to take it slow because of unfamiliarity with these techniques.
    By the way, great work on some of your cars/trucks. I would never have the patience for it. The intarsia piece is nice too. The guys I work with in Cambodia do a lot of small (Christmas ornaments) to medium intarsia pieces.
