Project Information

First try at a resin/river table. I had the 1 ½" walnut slabs lying around for many years. There was some bark, but I was not going for the rustic look. I purposely cut the shapes, so is it a puzzle table?
The finish is Rubio Monocoat, new to me. Easy to apply, shall see how it holds up.
The base legs are purchased.
For me this was an instructive experience. The majority of the work was flattening the cured assembly with a router sled then many hours of sanding.

Love it. That must have been a bear to flatten. The island is a nice touch and the finish looks great.

That looks fantastic! What are the dimensions? Did you loose much slab thickness milling then sanding it down?

Great looking results. The black epoxy mates up nicely with the walnut. Nice choice on the legs too.

Some how I missed this post. Very nice table. Where did you get the legs? Stock or custom?

Thank you all for your comments. To answer a few questions: The top is 1 1/2×24 x 52, it stands 30" high.
The resin is dyed a dark blue, sort of cobalt. Depending on the light it goes from blue to black. I sanded the top to 2000 with a random orbit but did not polish the resin.
The slabs had a twist here and there, so not to lose too much material when flattening I held them flat on the top surface and poured resin to fill in the gaps underneath.
I purchased the legs from Ohio Woodlands.
