Epoxy resin table as coffee table

At a customer’s request , I crafted this extraordinary epoxy resin table, which now serves as his coffee table. I cast individual pieces of burl wood from 2,900-year-old Kauri wood in high-quality epoxy resin. We first decided together on the oval shape of the unique tabletop. Then we selected the original burl wood for this epoxy resin table, which I subsequently adapted to fit the basic shape.

The individual solid root woods look in the epoxy resin as if they were floating in the tabletop. There are almost no limits to creativity with epoxy resins.

High quality epoxy resins for your table

I use high-quality and non-yellowing resins for the production of my epoxy resin tables. I coat the table tops twice with a 2-component wood varnish. This makes the surface softer to the touch, more homogeneous and more even in gloss level. The resin and lacquer systems are harmless to health and food-safe. If a high-quality epoxy resin is used, the customer can enjoy a special wooden table for a long time.

Epoxy resin tables are often made with crystal clear resin, the resin parts are then glossy and the wood parts matt. When the light reflects off the surfaces of these table tops, this difference is easily visible and the customer should be aware of this and ask themselves whether this is what they want. In the following picture you can see the difference in gloss level between the resin and the wood surface. I will be happy to show you the difference between these gloss levels in my manufactory using sample table tops and finished table tops with various high-quality surface and resin systems.

Epoxy resin crystal clear or slightly milky

When designing an epoxy resin table, you should always consider whether the gloss level of the table top should be crystal clear and shiny, as with the coffee table with unique item no. 170, or silk matt. It has its charms when you can see through the crystal-clear polished resin and an artistic three-dimensionality is created, just as a silk matt surface coating may appear timelessly modern.

Epoxy resin has a wide range of applications. When combined with the fascinating wood found at Kauri , it can be used to design precious, one-of-a-kind pieces and extraordinary unique items. As a master cabinetmaker with many years of professional experience, I would be happy to craft a high-quality epoxy resin table for you.

I had the modern table frame made from oiled raw steel for this exclusive coffee table by a master locksmith. It has a supporting central column and recedes discreetly so that the elegant table top can come into its own. The base plate is adapted to the oval shape of the table top.

Design options with epoxy resin such as the Rivertable, root wooden tables, amber and personal inlays as ideal values can be found below.

Here you can see how I made designer furniture using epoxy resin, consisting of a designer table, a bench, and two stools, also combined with Kauri burl wood.

The basic oval shape of the coffee table with a wooden plate as a template. I arranged the individual root woods until it formed a harmonious unit and marked them on the wooden plate.

The board is filled with epoxy resin and covers the root wood to the top edge. Cracks and bark are now impregnated with epoxy resin and solidified.

Now the elaborate surface sanding begins, followed by a single application of resin and renewed sanding and application of another thin layer of resin. The coffee table with its naturally distinctive root woods takes on more and more contours.

Design modern wooden tables with epoxy resin

‍

Epoxy resin allows you to design beautiful wooden tables with a wide range of possibilities. You may be familiar with the term “river table.” In a river table, two pieces of solid wood are joined in the center at a specific distance apart and filled with epoxy resin. The resin flows through the tabletop like a river. As an example, you can find a “ Kauri ” wooden river table here.

Unusual root wooden tables

For my specialty work crafting large tabletops from thousand-year-old Kauri burl wood —grown in a single piece—epoxy resin is a special material for me. Burl wood is often brittle, porous, and frequently contains naturally formed openings and bark. Using epoxy resin, I can bind all these unique natural features into a solid and compact whole, thereby creating beautiful burl wood tabletops that look like exquisite works of natural art.

Epoxy resin table with amber

Another advantage of using epoxy resin when designing my tables is that I can “preserve” natural amber from the Kauri tree in the tabletop. The Kauri tree has the unique ability to produce natural tree resin, which, over thousands of years, has hardened into golden-colored amber and is often found in the burl wood. Cast in epoxy resin, the amber becomes a fascinating focal point, resulting in extraordinary designer tables.

Personal values in epoxy resin

You can inlay ideal values such as precious jewelry, jewels, valuable gemstones, rings and even coins, such as a lucky penny for a table that I made for a customer, in epoxy resin. There are no limits to your imagination and you can create the table of your dreams.
