Resin table

Click the images to enlarge.

It all started when somebody said that they had an oak dining table with a split down the middle. He had seen a You Tube video where somebody had used coloured resin to make a really nice looking unit - could we emulate it with his table?

I spoke with our projects manager Brian and asked what he thought, could we do it? Would it be worthwhile trying to do a small project to check the idea. All went very quiet for a while and then a week ago he turned up with this really fantastic piece of furniture. It started as an ugly duckling piece of burr oak and turned into a beautiful swan.

Not sure if we could accomodate the full dining table yet but next year, who knows?

I believe that his wife has threatened him if he tries to sell or give it away.
