Do you seal the bottom of your live edge tables with anything? I’m doing a live edge table and sealing the top with resin but I’m not sure how to treat the bottom

@DerekConwayTX

3 жыл бұрын

I usually clear coat the bottom with poly, or seal coat only with epoxy.

Beautiful work I’m a newbie at this and I’m trying my hand at live edge rounds 1-1/2 thick 12dia. Oak and maple. I’ve let them all dry but they are starting to split. I applied some boiled linseed oil last night hoping it would stop the split. So I thought beauty is in the eye of the beholder so why not try and fill those voids with a colored epoxy. Any suggestions, am I on the right path? I’m open to any suggestions you may have. Your work is amazing!!! Thanks in advance.

You could do either. Using that final finish I'd sand up to 320 grit on the lat epoxy coat, then the oil

I noticed the star bond CA glue in the video, did you use that to help with the smaller cracks in the piece? I’m working with a 36 inch wood cookie that has similar smaller cracks. Did you fill them with epoxy and then the CA to get a level finish?

@DerekConwayTX

6 ай бұрын

Acrylic sheet. Peels off of the epoxt easy.

I just cut down a rather large black walnut. It has been dead for a while. Bone dry. Sawed the crotches n saved every limb. Gonna buy a ripping chain for my chainsaw n mill the trunk n whatever else needs flattened. Got huge oak rounds also. They checked very badly. East Tennessee. I'd sell some to afford the epoxy. Hit me up if interested.

With the epoxy you used here, could that table go outside on a patio or deck? I would think water proof is taken care of. Do you know if there are there any UV inhibitors/blockers in the epoxy, will it yellow from direct sun over time??
