Creating the Perfect Live Edge Resin Table
Live edge wood brings natural beauty and individuality to any space. Whether you are creating a stunning dining table or a bespoke coffee table, incorporating resin can enhance durability and create eye-catching effects. At Elephant Timber, we provide high-quality, sustainably sourced live edge wood, perfect for resin projects. Here are our tips on how to select the right resin products and choose a specialist to bring your vision to life.
Why Use Resin for Live Edge Wood?
Resin is an excellent addition to live edge tables, offering both structural and aesthetic benefits. It can do the following:
- Fill voids and cracks – preserve the wood’s natural shape while ensuring a smooth, even surface.
- Create unique designs – resin river tables, transparent fills, or vibrant pigments add a modern, artistic touch.
- Enhance durability – high-quality resin protects the wood from moisture and wear.
- Showcase natural beauty – clear or tinted resin highlights the rich grain and character of live edge timber.
Selecting the Right Resin Products
When choosing the right product for your live edge resin table, consider the following factors:
- Viscosity – the thickness of the resin affects its ability to flow into cracks and gaps smoothly.
- Clarity – opt for a resin that cures to a crystal clear finish or a tinted resin for a unique effect.
- UV Resistance – prevents yellowing and maintains the table’s vibrant look over time.
- Curing Time – a resin with an appropriate curing period allows for better workability and reduces imperfections.
Tips for Selecting a Resin Specialist
Choosing the right resin specialist is crucial for achieving a high-quality finish. When selecting a professional, consider the following:
- Experience – look for specialists with a portfolio of similar projects to ensure expertise in working with live edge wood and resin.
- Reputation – read reviews or seek testimonials from previous clients to gauge their reliability and craftsmanship.
- Consultation – a skilled specialist will offer advice on design, resin selection and finishing techniques, tailored to your specific piece.
- Samples – request samples of the specialist’s work to assess the quality and consistency of finishes.
