Hey all, I had a lady at work see a picture I did....It was on a oval plaque that I had burned with my torch,the picture was burned around the edges and then lacquered to the board....She said she would like the burning done to her table and benches ...What a project.... ;D This is what I have been doing and had the tumblers go silent for the month....
The big bench...Before and after..I have no pics of these finished ..it was raining and I forgot to get them

The benches...No before pics...Thought about it after i finished the burning ;D

The table..With before and some after pics

I coated the tabletop and the two smaller benches With an epoxy resin ..One coat is like 50 coats of lacquer ...Anyway that was my project...She loves it...Hope ya'll enjoy it ....John

Take time to make time..Make time to be there...

I used epoxy resin on a desk I built for my son. I wanted it to have a cedar top, so I had to use something to make it harder. That resin worked really well.

Thanks Everyone for the nice comments....Cathy it takes about 24 hours to cure ... 2 days before it should be used.....It dries hard ....I did a threshold step for her and in the room I poured the epoxy in ,a wasp got into the resin before it cured and I had to cut the resin with a boxcutter to get it out. The second coat of resin filled the hole and you can't even see where I cut it....John
