I did two pours in the voids and they cured perfectly!ģ. This stuff rocks! The pigment is already pre-mixed into the resin, so you get a consistent color every time! It’s also a 1:1 ratio which means I just had to mix up equal parts of the resin and the accelerator and just mix them together by hand! So, to do this, I taped up the underside of the slab (to stop the epoxy resin from leaking through) and then mixed up a small batch of Varathane Super Glaze in Aged Brown. I had lots of voids and holes that went all the way through my slab that I wanted to preserve. This can be done so many different ways, but for this particular slab, I used a combination of a sander and a router with a sled (I used my friend Brandon’s tutorial to make my sled)!Ģ. First thing I had to do was flatten the slab. I have been wanting to create my own version of a funky round table for the longest, and this was the perfect opportunity to do it. I seriously love funky live edge slabs of wood… and I totally scored when I stumbled upon a local lumber dealer ( 1 Of A Kind Live Edge Slabs) and his collection of wood cookies. The bad news is that even though I made it for our new apartment, my mom loved it so much that she stole it. The good news is that the table turned out AH-mazing.

For my full disclosure policy, click here. This was a project that took me a few weekends to create, but all of the TLC was so worth it! Even cooler, it will probably last us a lifetime and a half thanks to my friends at Rust-oleum! If you’ve been here for a while then you already know what a sucker I am for live edge projects, especially when they are crawling with character. As you know, we recently moved to a new apartment and I have been itching to make a new coffee table for the space that can double as a place to eat as well (studio living, for the win)! So, after sourcing a super funky slab at a local lumber dealer I knew I just had to turn it into a live edge coffee table, ASAP.
