another table

[69bronco]

The reason I asked about g-flex is I ordered some last week for a cookie table project. After reading Robs recommendations maybe I'll do a little more homework   . You've gotta love this forum for the wealth of no nonsense knowledge available!

The table and chest are stunning as usual.  I look forward to seeing your mantel build.

Hi SC, You are correct that epoxy is the wrong material. 3-M 5200 comes to mind first and you might look at boat deck caulking , like butal rubber. Then there are the post catalyzed urethane's .  When we produce something like your bench  we use small dental burrs and completely eat out-smooth out all cracks . Sometimes this takes more than a  few days of labor but we don't depend on any filler that may future fail. hope this helps  Rob

Rob, thanks for the advice.  A friend of mine that's a sign builder indicated that he used sandblasting to knock off the sharp edges on his signs, but unfortunately that is not an option due to the fact that I've already applied an oil finish and cleaning the sand out of the checks would be problematic.

I'll give the burrs a try.

The chest of drawers that goes with it tomorrow.  Rob

  

 

Spectacular wood!  I like how you centered the spalted area from the crotch on one end - quite striking.

Another Claro Walnut table top finished up today. Really nice figure in this one. I used bark inlay in the larger holes.  Sorry for the glare !

Oh my, that is fine.

Nice Rob, how did you attach the legs to the top? bg

Bill, I used small tenons and the 2X2 alignment blocks. The grain in the blocks has the same orientation as the slab. A couple of screws, epoxy and walnut flour.  Rob
