Epoxy River Tables

You've built a few river tables, but you're tired of the guesswork: over-pouring epoxy, dealing with bubbles, and spending hours sanding out uneven surfaces. This book is your bench-side companion, focused entirely on the two things that make or break a river table: getting the pour volume right and flattening the final slab to a mirror finish. No fluff, no beginner lectures—just exact formulas, material-specific tables, and step-by-step procedures you can apply immediately.

Inside, you'll find a complete pour calculation system that works for any slab geometry, including irregular rivers, deep fills, and additives like pigments and metallics. You'll learn how to measure volume using simple tools, account for wood movement and absorption, and mix epoxy in batches that don't overheat or gel prematurely. The flattening workflow covers both router sleds and drum sanders, with recommended bit types, speeds, feed rates, and pass depths for every common epoxy type. You'll also get troubleshooting tables for common pour and flattening failures, so you can diagnose and fix problems on the spot.

Whether you're building a coffee table or a dining room centerpiece, this book gives you the confidence to pour without waste and flatten without fear. It's the reference you'll reach for on every single project.
