Live Edge Epoxy River Desk with Black Galvanized Pipe Base

Watch as I show how to turn a wood cherry slab into a live edge desk with an epoxy river flowing through the table top sitting atop black galvanized pipe metal base. This desk started as a 23" wide cherry slab from my local wood source. Since I have already shown the process of flattening with a router sled I figured I would save the time and the mess by stopping by a different local wood source and try to have the wide slabs flattened on their massive machinery. Unfortunately there was too much twist in the slabs so we had to cut them in half but either way I saved a TON of time and huge mess by having the local guys flatten the slabs.

Once I was back in the woodshop I jointed and joined the wood back into one wide slab and added some inlayed walnut bowties. As we were planning the wood there were some holes and inclusions in the wood that needed to be filled so I chiseled and sanded out a river through the wood.

To finish the slab I filled the river that I made with fish tank rock and poured epoxy over to seal and harden everything.

The base is made form 3/4" black galvanized pipe available at your local home center.
