Milling slabs with decay

Recommended Posts

There is probably a market for most slabs over time, but I am interested to hear what others do when they have milled a big stick and several of the slabs have 2 or 3 really soft spots along their length?

 

Several options of course including re-saw, if for joinery, into narrower dimensional timber.  Any feedback much appreciated.

Ok, so why can't we be resin table makers, you and I have all the equipment and expertise ?

Its not something I particularly like the look of to be honest. There is some cracking examples but I do wonder when the fad will pass. But I guess you'd not be making it for yourself but for the customer and if they like it great! 

 

I prefer the tables that have the river look but have a shaped glass top like the picture below. If anyone knows how or where to get the glass shaped like this please share.

I don’t.
It’s bloody complicated to make a proper resin table.
Massive store room of dry slabs
Massive workshop
Massive router sled table
Massive dust extraction system
Massive belt sanders
Massive clean room dust free fir resin pouring.
Massive storage room for finished tables.
Not to mention £1000’s of resin,pigments, power tools.
And years of cockups, so you know exactly what you can and can’t do.
And a market/outlet for really really expensive resin tables.
I’ll just cut slabs ?[emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]
