Furniture utilizing epoxy

[jcjc]

Various pieces of furniture I've made utilizing different types of wood (Teak, Sapele, Baltic birch ply, etc) and dyed epoxy and/or clear epoxy as a clearcoat.
Surfboard coffee table made of Baltic birch ply, teak, dyed epoxy, and epoxy clearcoat.
"Corn dog" shaped coffee table made of Baltic birch plywood, dyed epoxy and clearcoat. Sheet acrylic accents in the legs.
Teak slat bench with dyed epoxy and shellac/wax finish.
Coffee table/bench made of Sapele and dyed epoxy. Oil finish.
Side table made of maple and dyed epoxy with epoxy clear coat.

Very nice work . A lot of hours in those .

Thanks Wayne and yep a lot of hours for sure especially with all the inevitable mistakes.
However I picked up a drum sander and that thing saves a tremendous amount of time on items like these and yields better results.

Beautiful tables....your wood/color combinations along with the epoxy finish really makes these one of a kind!
Well done !

I have found that the Festool or the Bosch 1/2 sheet sanders work especially well in building various tables for the house, saving quite a bit of sanding time..

Dalecamino-not on YouTube but they are on my Instagram.
DrD-yep I have a few different types of hand sanders with a Bosch 6" random orbit sander being my go-to for most stuff. Problem is that with large surfaces, it's very difficult and time consuming to get them just decently flat.
With the drum sander I can sand up to 38" wide objects pretty much perfectly flat.

Very nicely done, and I like the bright and vibrant colors you used. There is one piece I take issue with, and it's the sharply pointed ends on the double surfing board. Could they not have been, a bit more rounded and still look right? It's a safety thing with me, I usually look for things that a person might get hurt on. I always worry about lawsuits, and people suing over sharp items of all types they've been injured on.

Great job on them. How is the market for these?

Really works-of-art!

The back end of the surfboard and the "shark bite" area have been rounded over although it doesn't look like it in the pic. Also when the clear epoxy flowed over those spots, it further smoothed things out.
In terms of the market, I've sold a few pieces that are not pictured here. I do have an Etsy page but it's a work in progress at the moment. Still working on pricing and shipping.
