Bespoke epoxy resin wood tabletop. Have your tabletop as the centerpiece of your space.
What is Epoxy Resin Wood Tabletop and How is it Made?
Quite arguably, what makes our tabletop so spectacular is that we use the best of nature to create pieces that bring the outdoors in, with a touch of class that is one-of-a-kind.
The way that we showcase our beautiful wood furniture is by using epoxy resin to tie it all together. It is the glue, literally, that binds our vision into a spectacular conversation piece for our customers. The best way for us to preserve the natural beauty of the live edge woods we use is by using an epoxy resin finish to attach our pieces together. And it also makes them sturdy and impervious to whatever life can throw at them.
We first start with hand-picked planks of the most majestic wood we can find. Then, we take our live wood edges and we remove the bark from the outside surface. Our technicians carefully chisel the bark, meticulously using a gentle hand to preserve as much of the live edge as possible. To ensure a polished and finished look, we both plane and sand the wood to make it as smooth and flawless as possible.
Creating a Resin Mold
Once we have our live edge wood pieces, we create a mold around them to create a design. Each of our tables is made with varying dimensions and shapes. We try to use the natural spirit of the wood, placing the pieces so that they play off of one another. Our goal is to showcase the beautiful nature of the individual planks of wood. And, ideally, create a formation of flow that appears to have no beginning or end.
Pouring the Epoxy Resin
Once the pieces are secured, we fill in the open areas with an epoxy resin. Epoxy resin is a material that dries hard and attaches the individual pieces together. It can be colored or clear depending on the overall design. But the key is to downplay the resin area to incorporate it as a part of the piece that is only there to highlight the outer edges of our live wood.
Once the epoxy resin is poured, we sand the tabletop again to make it as seamless as possible. Our artists then continue to pour the epoxy resin in layers until it is flush with the pieces of wood. Our creators sand in between each pour, to maintain a slick appearance and to ensure that there isn’t any debris that gets trapped to ruin its exterior appearance. If we want to include a splash of color into our design, in between the pours, we will place materials in like fire glass.
We Then Allow the Resin to Cure
The epoxy resin needs to cure for a minimum of 48 hours. Once it is cured, it is extremely hard. Then it is time to create the table underside. After carefully taking the table from the mold and sanding the completion of the top, we go to work shaping the rest of the table by creating a base that fits perfectly. Once the table underside is complete, we apply a shellac finish to the top to make sure that it can’t be scratched and is durable for day to day use in homes, hotels, offices and any space that needs a touch of nature.
No Two Tables We Create Are Alike
Our living edge wood tables could only be created with the use of epoxy resin. It is a material that allows us to showcase the natural live edge of our wood tables. And it also gives it a finished look that allows our tables to be fully functional and beautiful at the same time. All of our pieces are one-of-a-kind, so although the process of making epoxy resin tables is the same, no two tables we create are alike. Contact us today to create one of your own custom table

Aftercare Contents
Here are a few tips:
Buffing instead of scrubbing- This material is quick to harden and creates a very tough table-top material; however extreme heat or excessive friction can cause the material to soften. This is why its important to be careful while cleaning this surface. When you are cleaning any food or drink stains off of this surface, use a soft towel.
The table top should only be buffed with mild speed/force. If there is any food stuck on it or if you notice that the stain is textured, gently scrub the epoxy resin using a soft bristle brush and remove the particle. Then finish by buffing that spot.
Using alcohol to clean is a no-no– You may have heard some people say that you should use rubbing alcohol in epoxy resin surface cleaning. The truth is that the method works only in case you want to actually take off any epoxy resin from any surface.
The item has to be submerged in rubbing alcohol for an entire day and this dissolves the resin to a certain extent. Cleaning the material is very different from removing it from any surface. Use simple soap and water is more than enough to get the exopy resin clean.
Cleaning discoloured epoxy resin – If you keep this material out in the harsh sunlight for extended periods of time without any shade protection at all, it will only get discoloured and turn into a brownish tan colour; soap and water will not suffice to get it cleaned. If you have white coloured epoxy resin tabletops, you can use laundry bleaching agents to clean it. Using straight bleach will soften the epoxy resin. Its best to use a bit of bleach on a cotton swab (you can also dilute the solution with water if you like) to gently scrub the area. You will see the discoloration lighten. You will have to follow the same process a few times, based on how badly discoloured the surface is.
Steam cleaning– Water and heat dont impact epoxy resin and most of the stain will be easily removable when water and heat is applied- they just loosen and you will be able to wipe the surface clean. There are a number of different pieces of steam cleaning equipment you can use to clean epoxy resin surfaces. Depending on the size of the surface to be cleaned, you can use the small ones that are used to remove wrinkles from clothes or even the larger ones that are used to steam clean floors.
It will add to the longevity of the surface and provide return on your investment.
