Next project! Initial formulation and rough cut for our family dining table at the new house. Going to be big and heavy! Estimating 12 gallons of epoxy to fill the center valley. #rivertable #epoxytable #whiteoak #localgrown #robswoodwork #woodworkbyrobs #cantsitstillforlong https://www.instagram.com/p/CCCMcCcDOtw/?igshid=m42oa4r7tdpb

Dry fit of the base of the lake table. Now that all the parts are fit and fine tuned time for glue. Next shots will be post glue up and sanding! Getting there!!! #resintable #customwoodwork #robswoodwork #woodworkbyrobs #coffeetable https://www.instagram.com/p/B_8WDTVDAVa/?igshid=lv2583bb4g76

First pour of the epoxy resin into the “Lakeside” coffee table. Letting this set before we do the final to depth pour. #rivertable #robswoodwork #woodworkingbyrobs #epoxypour #customcoffeetable (at Front Royal, Virginia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-Sep1ND3JU/?igshid=aa7qtjx8u105

Shellac seal of the entire piece in prep for the pour. Wire brushed all of the dirt and residual bark off of the live edge. Tomorrow I will scuff the finish to ensure a solid bond with the epoxy. #resintable #epoxypour #coffeetable #robswoodwork #woodworkbyrobs https://www.instagram.com/p/B-Qn6NwDnWB/?igshid=6czhbpijz9i1

Woodwork isn’t always fine furniture of fancy turned things. Latest projects include a deck at my sister’s house and a new swing set for a local church. #deckbuilding #practicalwoodworking #rsww #robswoodworking #robswoodwork #woodworkbyrobs https://www.instagram.com/p/ByfRIU1ASip/?igshid=uqr3qylzcjej

First coat of finish on. Traditional boiled linseed oil and beeswax. I will put on probably 4-5 more coats and continuously buff and burnish as it dries. It will end with a nice, soft satin sheen. Very happy with how the base turned out after being burned #shousugiban . The texture of the base with the top’s figure I couldn’t be more happy with. I hope the customer feels the same. #rsww #woodworkbyrobs #robswoodwork #garagewoodworking #maple #ash https://www.instagram.com/p/Bwh93Bag0ee/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1kszhw6pb5lu7

Template making and layout for a small pedestal table. Keeping the feet simple but hopefully light enough to meet the top and post. #rsww #woodworkbyrobs #robswoodwork #smalltable #furnituremaker https://www.instagram.com/p/BuHunD2AFjN/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1d0a7ed2g5uax

Progress has been made on the writing table and another lingering project (background). I couple more joint cuts and we will be in business. #garagewoodshop #rsww #woodworkbyrobs #robswoodwork #whiteoak #heavydesk #writingdesk (at Front Royal, Virginia) https://www.instagram.com/p/Btb2_FyAouU/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=qfjxmiphav4u

Resin table update: Dry fit the base and did a mock-up of the final leg shape (3rd photo). Next steps: leg shaping, final sanding, finish and assembly. Lots more to do but progress is being made and excited how this is turning out. #resinwoodtable #customfurnituredesign #woodworkbyrobs #robswoodworks #comingsoon‼️ https://www.instagram.com/p/B_dVxT7j0Cj/?igshid=ryf6anyn4881
