Coen and Blas Resin Table

We created a table using two separate pieces of wood joined by resin.

The table took a few months of makerspace elective time to create due to the time resin takes to dry and the amount of extra details that were needed to be done. We used live-edged wood to do this, leaving more possibilities of having abstract features available.

There were holes on both pieces of wood, which we decide to get creative with instead of just pouring clear epoxy. To get color in the epoxy we added different color mica powder to get different looks on the table.

A few challenges we ran into while making the table included: keeping the resin from leaking while connecting the two pieces of wood, as well as pouring the finishing layer on top of the table. In order to overcome this, we taped around all the edges and some of the bottom to prevent any resin from leaking. This wasn’t the best way to control the resin due to the inconsistency of the tape holding, which in the end lead to more sanding.

The table is a personal project between Coen and I, meaning that, besides the material, all profit will go back to us leading to more opportunities for creating more art. There are still many more things that can be added to the table, such as the legs, sanding down the sides, and polishing sanded resin.
