Project Information

This is a mesquite slab that had a crevice that allowed me put lay down some river rocks and the tiniest koi fish I have ever seen. I added some clear epoxy to allow the koi fish to be seen as if it was a pond. The legs are made out of poplar and stained them using and ebony and stain that almost makes it look black. This was the first time that I have ever played out with angled legs and I was challenged with it a bit. I definitely learned a lot when it comes to angles. I buddy of mine has a domino, which helped putting the legs together.
My wife absolutely loved it.

Items used:
Mesquite Slab
Poplar for legs
Polymere Technologies Epoxy
River Rock from Dollar Tree
Koi fish from Amazon.

Let me know what you all think.
