Mark Patterson in Sanford has a good selection...I almost bought some on impulse they were so interesting.

I'd be interested in seeing an example of the glow in the dark table. :gar-Bi

Edit: well seems locating an example was easier than I thought. This looks way cool!!

Cool

Should be interesting, some of the boards I saw were way more pecky than the photo and wide enough to not need any glue up...should be a fun project.

keep us posted on the results.

I have a little bit of pecky sinker cypress, recovered from the Nottoway river where they have rested for the past 130+ years. i'll try and send you some pics this afternoon.

What an interesting idea. Here's the step-by-step process.

There's also a good selection of "Glow powders" available. Interestingly, their daytime colors are quite different from those seen at night.

The casting resin is epoxy.

Nice tight grain from sinker logs. Sorry it took me a while to get it online. Not sure why they are rotated sideways

I have been looking into resin in tabletops in awhile. I have many ideas which I intend to accomplish soon. But for now I have other things on the bench and things on the bench are more important than things in the head.

in process of doing a second resin table zach....we used flat seashells and resined over top of them. Came out pretty good

 

[farmerbw]

Dirk, LOML and I have talked about doing something with the tons of seashells we have. How about sharing some pics of yours if you have any handy.
