For a long time, I've wanted to attempt an epoxy table. I wanted to throw in a twist though, and I figured what better way than to take some free pallet wood to dump some very expensive epoxy onto. Being my first epoxy table, there were some inevitable mistakes made along the way.

Some things I should have done differently:
1. The individual planks had some warping, especially after burning. I should have tied the boards together with some inlays on the bottom or domino joints to create one flat board prior to burning. This would have made it easier to control the warping.
2. I planed off too much depth with the router when I was flattening the table. This put a lot of strain on the router bit, and I also accidentally cut into a part of the table where the wood was sticking up higher than the rest.
3. Ideally, I should have done a coat of table top epoxy on top of the deep pour epoxy. This would create a more durable outer coat.

This was definitely a challenging project for me, but I learned SO much. I'd love to know what you think about this kind of project, since it is a different concept than my usual furniture makeover/restoration videos.
