Finished product first.
The planks are held down with liquid nails.
Before sanding
After sanding everything flush.
Getting ready for pour no.1.
Looking better.
After a second coat. So smooooth.
More resin.
Really brightens up the grain.
Can you spot the Eucalyptus?
Not really the end. I am to impatient to wait to post. Next post will be completion.

It looks beautiful! Nice job.

I'm sure you used a UV-resistant epoxy. Otherwise that is going to yellow and look like crap in about a year.

Why liquid nails? In my experience stuff holds for 2 years max
gimking
Not standard liquid nails, not sure the name though. The resin fills underneath around a small bead anyway.

Looks amazing! How long does the shine last with regular use though?
gimking
The first one is still looking good with some care. Can always sand and re-pour for a like new finish.

How do you finish the bottom edge?
gimking
Brush the resin on, cut drips off while still plastic.

Fir for the apron?
gimking
Ah, damn. I forgot to name the woods. You are correct on the fir. I got everything from an old shop. Fir, mahogany, redwood, and pecan.

Nice! Not sure how well the liquid nails will do long-term, but it looks great.
gimking
The liquid nails is only a thin strip down the middle. The resin fills the rest.
TheUglyGuy
Should hold up then. That epoxy resin is tough stuff!

Oh god yesss.
