Summary
- Woodworker [Burls Art] decided to create a river table using walnut wood and bronze in place of the more common epoxy and copper.
- After creating a rough finish of the table, he created silicone plugs of the table voids to use for sand casting.
- Several days of milling and sanding were required to get the bronze and walnut to be level and smooth.
- This is far from the only twist on the live edge/epoxy formula, other examples including a seascape night light and a river table with embedded neon.
- For those interested in trying metal casting, Hackaday also reports on a technique for microwave smelting.
