Filling in the cracks. I’m using resign with food grade coloring. I made the mistake of using only the recommended amount of activator/hardener and 24 hours later it was still gooy, I went ahead and added 3x what it recommended and a couple hours later it was solid.

17 February 2014 at 2:50 pm #27947Beautiful table! and cute photo. Congratulations. Hopefully the smell will dissipate sooner than later.
Thank you. Yeah, I finished it just in time as a Valentine present for my wife. I’m very pleased with the outcome as is my son Justus 🙂
I thought it would need more support than just the frame, but since it’s oak and 2″ x 3″ it firm and the legs don’t move even when slide the table by myself.
Thanks all for the encouragement.
Next up, finish the mesquite and oak crib for our baby who should be here in a couple of weeks.
17 February 2014 at 4:20 pm #27962The table looks great! Just how did you flatten the boards without
affecting the character of the boards?Thank you @handworkenthusiast I didn’t flatten the top, it has lots of waves and texture. I did do some light sanding just to remove the roughness and splinters. See the attached picture to see what I’m talking about.
The project was pretty tough for that very reason, the boards where warped.

17 February 2014 at 11:38 pm #27986Yes, I see now, it’s not dead flat but its flat enough to be fit for purpose and sure came out nice.
