Which one of Bernini's sculpture that use several pieces of carved marble and assemble them?

How should one pour epoxy on a wood carved table top? Which type of wood should I use?

  • I did a little experiment on 2*4, which worked fine. Suggestions on which types of wood I should use? The wood needs to be strong enough to make a large table top out of (2*4 or 3*7 even). I'm new to carving, so I am curious about the tools as well.

  • Answer:

    You probably shouldn't "pour" epoxy on a wood surface: you should brush or roll it on. And as for the wood, I would suggest that you might consider oak or maple. Both finish well, they are easy to work with and their cost will be in the range that most people can afford. Just a suggestion: Buy a smaller piece of the wood you and test the epoxy that you want on that piece first. If it finishes well, then begin your project.

I wouldn"t use epoxy.Try an oil finish like danish oil or a wipe on poly finish.

A good idea to apply epoxy is to have it over the surface in thin layers. For this you can have the epoxy over the surface of the furniture and then roll it over with some piece of smooth wood or a brush.Do this step untill you start seeing the white haze of epoxy starts to disappear. Try to take out thin layers of the epoxy everytime you roll over the brush of pice of smooth wood over the surface.And, about the wood that is good to work with epoxy, then I’d say oak is a good wood for this.
