Here’s how the resin turned out after curing and being sanded down. Reckon it’s gonna look mighty schmick after applying a couple coats of varnish 🤩 #Build #Woodworking #Bench #RedGum #TimberSlab #Seating #HardWood #Sanding #Resin #MicaPowder #Mica #BushLife

We decided to fill the cracks and knot void in the timber slab with this gorgeous blackish-green pearlescent resin ✨ #Build #Woodworking #Bench #RedGum #TimberSlab #Seating #HardWood #Sanding #Resin #MicaPowder #Mica #BushLife

The slab of red gum has been sanded, edges have been softened, and cracks have been taped at the bottom. Ready for resin! #Build #Woodworking #Bench #RedGum #TimberSlab #Seating #HardWood #Sanding #Resin #BushLife
