My latest project is this beautiful black walnut slab that will work well as a desktop, coffee table or a professional office center piece. It is available for purchase immediately and the buyer will be able to choose legs from Bear Hollow Supply or Osborne Wood Products. The size is approx. 52” x 29” and has Rubio Monocoat finish which is a single-coat hardwax oil wood finish that colors and protects wood.
The original slab – see below – was raw wood when I acquired it. There was a split down the middle and a larger gap at one end where the tree decided to expand into multiple sections as it grew.
Normally I would only insert bow ties that would bind the 2 parts together, but I decided to include epoxy resin on this project. While I have not been successful in the past with epoxy, I found a product that was made for someone without a lot of epoxy experience.
I started by adding large wooden bow ties to secure the parts together in the center. Then I poured the clear epoxy resin to secure all the pieces together. My original goal was to leave the open end as is because of how unique it was. Then I was challenged by an interior design friend at church to add epoxy resin with color to enhance the beauty.
