When it comes to wood, most people focus on its grain, shape, and color—but there’s an often-overlooked detail: the cross-section. Few customers realize this part of the wood is even customizable, let alone how it’s showcased in a finished piece of furniture. In today’s post, we’ll pull back the curtain on the magic behind epoxy table cross-sections and why they deserve your attention.
Before introducing some resin tables with wood cut surfaces, it is necessary to explain to you how the wood cut surfaces are presented.
The presentation on the table is also unique. We will pour a highly transparent resin color to maximize the presentation of the wood section, or pour the resin in layers, pouring a layer of black opaque resin on the bottom layer and a layer of transparent resin on the top layer to achieve the effect.
Next, I will introduce you to several custom resin tables with obvious cut surfaces, hoping to bring some fresh creative inspiration to your custom journey.
