Junk Wood, BUT I'll Sell it for $5000

[@ravenrock541]

To be honest, I think the bowties detract from the piece. The table itself looks like an island in the tropical ocean (dark blue epoxy would have really sealed the deal), so the cracks would have looked like natural channels of water. (Just my opinion)

[@emberreel3577]

I think dark blue would have still given it a rich look. I like the black but the blue I think would have been a little more my taste

When I look at the finished product it reminds me of an Atoll. I like how it came out with the black but I wonder what it could have looked like with a lighter blue epoxy in the middle and a darker blue on the outside.

I agree 💯, I thought that an Atoll, with a Blue Epoxy and Glittering with Bioluminescence, from the Sea life!!! I Wish I could be affording even the Epoxy,,, but it was a Huge Amount!!

I believe this would have made this piece stand out so much better and look way more premium.

The small gold lines to fill up the cracks, in combination with the dark epoxy and wood would've been really nice!

[@geecee1990]

CELEBRATE THE CRACK!!! Jonny, I really love watching your epoxy builds. As a long-time woodworker, I've been trying to figure out how to start working with epoxy. Just small-scale stuff, but something that would be fun and somewhat challenging.

[@iminabrons]

I've always had the thought the base, legs, etc. of a table should be regarded in the same way a frame for a painting is. It can kill a painting or bring out the best in it. I liked the design for the original base but not the material used, that is the plywood. The second design choice seemed stolid to me and lacked the novelty and style that the top slab with epoxy had, which was very interesting but not overwhelming.

[@ForceFreeTrainergirl06]

I agree. If I were going to be paying $5,000 for a table, I wouldn't expect the base to be made out of cheap plywood, but quality materials.

[@contra1124]

I agree on that and I'll admit that I couldn't make a table as pretty as this but I would also have made it oval or rounded the edges; just because I think round in round looks best

I appreciate your woodworking, technical, and design talent and consider your work grand. Given this, in my opinion, this was not on my list reflecting your best work. I am a tiler concentrating on upscale design and specialty projects, so I understand the process and the flexibility the process can, at times ,require. When I first saw your piece of wood and listened to your list of constraints regarding the piece, it occurred to me it might have been possible to have joined it with other pieces, perhaps a counter top or desk top. Your skill with fiber optics would be very intriguing in such a project. The base of the table was in my favorite wood and I appreciated the lack of glue fitting the pieces. I would like to have seen a drawing with the top edged in the walnut out of curiosity. The bow ties were distracting and for me I lost the visual flow in the work, which is very important for me. I would never be able to unsee them. Looking forward to seeing what your up to next.

[@praeliora]

I really love this table, however, although I agree that the ply wasn't the right material. I did prefer the colour and design of the original base..

[@teresavalliere2888]

I wonder if you're ever thought of tinting the epoxy dark to light in the same shade to give grater depth in the pour. Just a thought!?

[@arthurised]

@Teresa Valliere. A nice idea BUT... This would not work so well because as you add each resin layer to the piece then the "tide line" where each layer finishes and the new one /colour (note British English spelling 🙂) starts would be quite noticeable, rather than a changing blend as I think you are implying. A practicle solution might be to use a different "grade" of resin which permits pours of up to 4 inches but this still would not give you the changing tint, rather being able to see further to the base of the table. However, this brings its own complications re overheating / curing problems!

[@dm.b7560]

That first base you made, just needs a nice thick piece of dark glass on top, awesome table.

[@jeffrudolph1802]

I can’t help to think that pouring in two layers will leave a line between the two layers along the sides, as it’s very hard to match colors between pours, even when using a black tint. How did you avoid that situation or didn’t you?

[@isansimpson2056]

If you do the second pour when the first layer is still fairly soft and tacky you’re good to go.
