REAL river table

[traindriver]

I haven't posted anything in a while because I haven't made anything different that's worth posting until this project came along.  I made a river coffee table with epoxy inlay for a buddy of mine at work.  He's from Philadelphia, so I found a good .jpg of the Delaware River at Philly with the Schuylkill River flowing into it and used that for the river.  The cnc part was easy.  This being my first river table, I had a few "issues" with the epoxy, which was okay, because I mainly did this as a learning experience.  The last one is from the .pdf I imported the river from.

Quite a bit of character I'll give you that! Make the legs too?

Fantastic job! Looks amazing!

Looks great, man! I've always wanted to try one of these, but have been too wrapped up with other projects lately.

We're in the middle of a move, but I'm finally getting my own shop (instead of leasing a property), so I'm excited to have a permanent home for my stuff and hope to have something to share in a couple of months.

Did you do the river pour in a single layer? Or did you pour it in a couple of separate pours?

Any cracking?

Either way, it looks awesome.

Dustypilot, yes, I did make the legs. That's the first project I've used my roll bender on.

Dadealus, Awesome that you're finally getting your own shop! I'm still renting shop space because I haven't found a place in the right area with enough room for a shop. I did pour the river in 1 pour as a single layer. I used deep pour epoxy, which is good up to a couple of inches, but I only needed it for 3/4". No cracking. It took a couple of days to solidify enough to take out of the mold.

Whoa, that looks really cool! It's cool that you were able to make a beautiful coffee table from a.jpg of the Delaware River. I'm sure your friend was happy with how things turned out.
