In this video I take some gnarly offcuts from an Oak sleeper, which I purchased a few years back and make a pedestal side table. I utilized some epoxy resin coloured with Teal mica powder to form the top and fill some cracks, which I extended into the base to attempt and add some continuity.

I remember the first cabinet I made in college was a small bedside one.
cool
Wow, that looks fantastic, really beautiful 😊
Thanks
It took me a long time to work out where you were going, then the pedestal emerged. Clever to make the cracks in the old wood into the central design motif. I admire your craftsmanship and your imagination: it’s the combination that makes your pieces so appealing.
Thanks so much

Really well done!!!

Thanks .. same to you
That is so creative and well done Andy! It’s a beautiful piece!
Thankyou
Another creative and beautiful project Andy. I am curious as to how you got the oak pieces out of the form with the resin. It didn’t look like the form was treated with mold release, and so I am curious as to how you were able to get that piece out. Thanks
Thanks .. It was always a sacrificial mould so the sides got cut off with the bandsaw and the base was prized off with a chisel .. in multiple pieces 😂
I love the look. I can’t help thinking that that round base will start to wobble after a few weather changes. Was anything done to stabilize it?
Thanks .. the oak for the base was around 7years old so I’m not expecting it to move much and added 3 cork pads to it which should allow for any slight movement
@Andy Phillip it’s a great looking piece. My questions are only based on my uncertainty. I usually do cutting boards and miniatures, but love wood turnings.
Can you imagine decorate your home with the the beautiful art work you’ve created? I’m coastal so this resin color you chose was what I would’ve picked 😍👍🏼🇺🇸
Thanks
Very nicely done, love the fact your using old material. Stay safe.
as always, great job! All the best to you!
That looks amazing! Perfect side table size!
Hi Andy what a brilliant design and creation you did really well. The little table is magnificent and unique well done. Amanda xx
