Cherry Coffee Table, bowties, a little epoxy, and Osmo Polyx
Furnished content. (from Lumberjocks.com)
A friend gave me this cherry slab 2 years ago and it wasn't quite dry enough to work with. After a couple years in climate control with good air movement I was comfortable machining it.Built a router sled, flattened the top, removed as much bark and waste as possible from the crack, learned that bow ties in cherry are hard. Had a little chip out in the cherry during final chisel cleanup. Eco proxy Flowcast in two pours, mainly for My experience level comfort. I was pleasantly surprised at how few bubbles arose. It's really really thin so use some good tape for sealing. I used 3m aluminum HVAC tape and was pleased with results. Lots of sanding. Hand wet sanded epoxy to 1000g to make sure I didn't have any visible scratches. Finished with 2 coats of Osmo Polyx applied with white Scotch Brite pads.I got a little obsessive during the epoxy research because I knew I had one chance to get it right.She loves it. Oh yeah. Hairpin legs going on tomorrow when I pick up threaded inserts at woodcraft.
