The Art and Science of Epoxy Resin

Creating epoxy resin tables is a fascinating process that combines science, craftsmanship, and artistry. The result is a stunning, unique piece of furniture that combines the best of nature and technology. 

Step 1: Preparing the Wood

 

Once the wood is selected, it must be carefully prepared. This involves sanding the surface to remove rough patches, cleaning it to ensure no debris or moisture remains, and allowing the wood to dry fully. We start by sourcing high-quality hardwoods like walnut, oak, acacia, or elm. Each slab is chosen for its unique grain, color, and natural edge. No two pieces are ever the same — and that's the beauty of it.

Step 2: Building the Mold

Next, artisans build a mould to hold the resin while it cures. Depending on the desired shape and design, they typically make moulds from silicone or wood. The mould ensures the resin is poured in the right places and helps achieve the perfect waterfall effect. Properly sealing the mould is essential to avoid any resin leakage, which could disrupt the process.

Step 3: Pouring the Resin, curing & Demolding

Now comes the magic. High-quality, crystal-clear or tinted resin is mixed and carefully poured into the mold, filling the spaces between the wood. This step may take multiple layers and up to several days of curing.

After the resin hardens, the mold is removed. The table is then flattened again to ensure perfect balance and symmetry. It starts looking like a finished piece — but we’re not done yet

Step 4: Sanding & Polishing

The final step is sanding the table to remove imperfections and give the resin a smooth, glass-like finish. Sanding is done in multiple stages, starting with coarse-grit sandpaper and gradually moving to finer grits. Once the table is entirely soft, it is polished to enhance the resin’s natural shine and clarity.

Edges are softened, any minor imperfections corrected, and a high-quality finish or oil is applied to protect the wood. Legs or bases are then installed — whether sleek metal, solid wood, or custom-designed.
