Decorative stain and inlaid epoxy on a desk by Custom Kate
Переглядів 3,4 тис.9 років тому
This vintage mahogany desk had a crack running down the length of the top. I had to think up a design that would mask this crack, and naturally I thought of a horizon. One of the most beautiful horizons I've ever seen is that of Big Sur, CA. I added a monarch butterfly and the famous Bixby bridge. I filled the crack with turquoise epoxy and sanded well. I needed to draw attention away from the ...

Thank you for sharing your ideas. It came out awesome!!! Keep it up. I. Going to try this one of these days with some of our traditional patterns.
Just beautiful work, wow. Thanks for sharing
Muito show
If u have spots that was not mixed well enough you can apply another coat over it . Just besure to mix it well the next time .
Stunning. Love it.
Wow. This is outstanding
I just bought a gallon to cast and embed objects and thought it can be poured deep, but the instructions say no more than 3/16 of an inch per layer - or heat can cause cracking and problems. I'm confused... can we pour this East Coast resin deep?
Wow great job I'm inspired now!
very nice work great video :)
Absolutely gorgeous!
This is so amazing
Sooo beautiful ❣️
Wow
What is mineral spirits? Although the video is old, it still helped. Thanks.
Wow
Wow. How many hours do you estimate it took to paint/stain this picture, including drawing it? How many for the overall piece?
Sooo beautiful.
So simple yet amazing.....thanks for sharing
This is an art I could really get into. Thanks for the video. In watching, I am curious, what type of wood do you use? As woods differ in being more or less porous (like pine vs oak) to where they absorb more and faster, is there a wood choice over others? Looks like you are working with pine, which is softer and more porous.
Awesome work
Thank you for sharing this, now I understand what to do.
Amazing...
Very nice. Love it
BEAUTIFUL
Its Beautiful😍

That's is so beauitful
smart girl,well done
Grate job Kate, II have a customer who has her grandfathers drafting table she wants convirted to a coffee table so I was out googling for ideas and came across your vid. Thanks!
Hi I use the the same epoxy that u use. But my point is can I use the type of epoxy in silicon mold or only on wood. And please at what temperatures it to be came dry I Mack one sample and it stay 24 hur but not dry can u please help me and bot me it the right way
why did you choose East Coast Resins A n B
If you are going to do an instructional video on epoxy resin, you should really explain the importance of using a blow torch or heat gun in raising the air bubbles to the surface for them to pop! There were heaps in your first pour, would have been a perfect time to show how and why we use a blow torch or heat gun. Otherwise good job
I've followed every step of this video. I just poured the big pour and I have a couple spots that are a tiny bit low. Should I just repour more colored epoxy or will my finish coats fill in my low spots for me?? Thanks
I heard about woodprix instructions good opinions.
I'm sure you'll learn how to make it if you'll read woodprix instructions from cover to cover :)
so you can't use a toothpick instead of heat for bubbles?
great!
I made similar with woodprix instructions :)
Thank you for this video
Soo in love with this, its stunning!!
This was awesome when you started, then the extension was put in and it became absolutely mind-blowing 😍 incredibly inspirational. Thank you for sharing 💙
Nice
Beautiful! ✌️🖖💚
I make briar pipes. This may be a fantastic thing to get into and practice. Contrast staining is already thing, but it may be interesting to combine it with artistic methods. Thanks for the tips.
How come your such a good artist oh how I wish I was :( so jelouse
Is it difficult to keep the stain from running into areas you d not want to stain?
