Nice piece of wood.
That is soooooo cool, I would love write of how you did that!Just finished a serving tray. Made it out of branches around the yard and epoxy. My first time working with epoxy so I’m a little proud of it.
Thanks for looking. View attachment 683365
I didn’t take pictures along the way, it started off as a test and I wasn’t sure it would work out. Basically I built a form out of some scrap MDF a little bigger the what I wanted. Lined everything with Tyvek tape, used silicone chalk in all the seams to prevent the epoxy from leaking.That is soooooo cool, I would love write of how you did that!
That's pretty cool. Nicely done!!!Just finished a serving tray. Made it out of branches around the yard and epoxy. My first time working with epoxy so I’m a little proud of it.
Thanks for looking.
I've seen guys build the form , then put a base of epoxy in the bottom and add the wood . When it starts to set , they add the rest of the epoxy .many of the branch pieces started to float.
It wasn’t bad. I ran my dust collection system to draw out some of the fumes. Since I’m in N. Michigan I had to crank up the garage furnace as the instructions said to keep it over 70 degrees. After I poured, I turned off the dust collection cranked the heat and let it go.I haven't worked with it yet . I worry about the VOC . How's the smell ?

There ya go . That's the way to do it . Looks great David .. Poured in the first layer and made sure all was placed right after the first pour. Used a very light heat to bring up the air bubbles . Than made second batch and poured over the first
Nice . Gotta love the boring beetle damage on Ash .made from Ash
My shop is in the basement . I have an 1100 CFM dust collection system and a exhaust fan to outside .It wasn’t bad. I ran my dust collection system to draw out some of the fumes. Since I’m in N.
