Table Construction
Within this blog I will list out the process I follow for River Run Table Construction that produce the beautiful looking and super smooth river run tables.
- Carefully select the type of wood to use
- Confirm moisture content is circa 13% for best results
- Choose the size of the final table you require.
- Create a “form” of the correct size for the resin pour. (see my
- blog on reusable resin pour boxes)
- Sand the wood to 240 grit to ensure the bottom is flat and smooth
- Place and clamp the wood into the box, to reduce movement and seepage
- Seal live edge of the wood with resin and leave for 12 hrs to cure
- Mix and pour the resin into the form an inch depth at a time
- Use a blow torch or brule burner to remove air bubbles
- Once all the resin has been poured, again clear air bubbles.
- Then leave for 3 days to fully cure
- Remove table top from the box
- Sand off to correct level
- Cut to final size required
- Sand the wood from 240 grit through to 800 grit
- Sand resin from 240 grit through to 10k grit
- Then use mineral oil to moisten the wood
- Re sand the wood at 800 grit
- Finally polish and buff the wood and resin to high shine
- Measure, fix and attach table legs
- Pictures below show the final result
