01
Wood selection
Select the slab for scale, grain, and edge character
Choose a slab for table scale, room fit, grain movement, edge character, color, and usable yield.
How a custom epoxy table is made
From live edge slab selection to resin control, sanding, finishing, base fitting, and packing, the process is built around material judgment. Each custom table follows the same disciplined sequence while leaving room for wood species, resin tone, scale, and room context to shape the final piece.
02
Design direction
Confirm wood tone, resin color, and table intent
Align wood tone, resin color, opacity, base direction, and dimensions around the room early.
03
Surface preparation
Clean loose bark, dust, fibers, and unstable voids
Clean live edges, resin contact areas, bark pockets, dust, and fragile fibers before pouring.
04
Sealing
Seal porous edges before the main epoxy pour
Seal cracks, voids, end grain, and porous edges to reduce air release and resin bubbles.
05
Sizing
Trim, align, and shape the slabs to the planned dimensions
Cut, check, and position slabs for approved size, seating clearance, and balanced resin flow.
06
Mold work
Build a level, sealed mold around the table layout
Build a stable mold, sealing seams, edges, and release surfaces before epoxy is mixed.
07
Epoxy mixing
Measure, pigment, and mix epoxy with controlled timing
Measure and mix epoxy for resin system, depth, pigment load, and working time.
08
Pouring
Pour the resin in a steady, controlled sequence
Pour resin gradually while monitoring channels, voids, mold seams, depth, and pigment movement.
09
Bubble control
Monitor the pour and manage surface bubbles
Watch bubbles, surface tension, pigment movement, and edges during the early cure window.
10
Flattening
Remove the cured slab from the mold and level the surface
Release the cured blank and flatten wood and resin into one practical surface.
11
Sanding
Sand progressively across wood and resin
Sand through controlled grits to remove marks, refine resin clarity, and prepare for finish.
12
Edge profile
Refine edges, corners, and final table geometry
Shape edges, corners, underside details, resin borders, and touch points before finish.
13
Finish
Apply the final protective finish
Apply finish to bring out grain depth, resin clarity, sheen, and the intended hand feel.
14
Assembly
Fit the base and check alignment
Align and fasten the base for proportion, stability, seating clearance, and visual balance.
15
Inspection
Inspect, protect, and prepare for delivery planning
Review surface quality, edge consistency, base alignment, packing needs, and delivery protection.
