How to make a beautiful slab table

[Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] okay guys there it is the epoxy is all cured a couple hours after I poured the epoxy I left and everything was beautiful but overnight as as it cured the epoxy seeped into all the the cracks so you can see the reflection everywhere where it's seat and and then the next day someplace is like on the edge here the the cracks are still pretty deep so you can see here I poured some more epoxy so now it's all cured so I'm gonna bring this slab outside and I'll put that on my router sled and I'll shave off like about a sixteenth of an inch pretty much to the bare wood and then what I'll do is I'll just use some regular varnish and I'll try it out see what it looks like if I don't like it I'll just sand off the varnish and put one more coat of epoxy so anyways let's flap now this slab one one more time [Music] all right guys so I'm done sending this breakdown to 400 grit and I'm really happy the way it turned out those gaps are nicely filled up with the epoxy was very expensive 150 bucks of epoxy but it looks really nice now I'm not gonna put the epoxy to finish it I'll just use regular oil varnish I think it's gonna look more natural as epoxy as like the the plastic look to it so anyways I just got to sand down the sides now stand them down to maybe 220 grit for the sides and I just can't wait to varnish it see what it's going to look like [Music] [Music] [Applause] okay guys so what I did is I gave this sloppier both five coats of varnish and I give up it the varnish is thin in it it really seeps through the sort of course what this is burrow so baroque is porous and I'm to make it worse it's angering so it really seeps into the wood and it it makes all these little dimples it's hard to see now because I sanded most of the varnish off but if you look at a certain angle you could see all the little dimples so I just gave up by sand and most of the varnish off and now I'm just gonna splurge it under $50 on epoxy and one coat should be should do the trick [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Applause] Oh you
