As for the rest of the base I plan on carving with various tools to depict a historical science from Irish folklore.
WOOD SLAB CRACK REPAIR HOW TO
This is my first time working with a live edge slab, and Im not sure how to deal with the cracks.
I don't like the look of butterfly keys, and I don't believe that this crack needs much reinforcement, but I was going to fill it with West epoxy just in case (and as a way to finally try using it). Filling and bonding the slab back together with a high strength epoxy is a great way to seal the crack. I've worked with a few live edge slabs in the past, but the one I have now is the first one with a sizable crack. Will this work? Should I soak with an oil first before applying the epoxy like in previous comments? As for the base I was thinking of sealing the bottom/root section after flattening with an epoxy to prevent rot and stop any moisture being soaked up through the base. Fixing slab cracks So I just received a black walnut slab Im going to use to make one of those river tables that have been floating around. Repair methods and solutions common ways to repair a slab are to surface fill or inject with epoxy or polyurethane. Slab® is an easy-to-apply water-based sealant that really stretches up to 300 of original crack size To create a permanent, weatherproof repair that stands the test of time. I had the idea to coat the top after flattening with a router jig with an outdoor epoxy to achieve a glass like finish and possibly fill the surface cracks with a glow powder/epoxy mix. I need some advise as how to treat it to stop splitting and how to finish. It will be bar height and constructed of a large beech stump acting as the table base and the top will be a very large ring of beech roughly 10 inches thick. After reading through the comments I have discovered some answers to several questions but I'm still not sure of the best approach. I'm hoping somebody can advise me on the best approach for a project I wish to complete this summer.
