s is how it would look without the epoxy, which I like a lot more but it doesn't give same amount of protection for a bathroom sink.

We did one first coat using arm-r-seal, which is an oil based top coat. This is how it would look without the epoxy, which I like a lot more but it doesn't give same amount of protection for a bathroom sink.

n't drip.

Apply the epoxy and use painters tape all around the piece, so the epoxy won't drip.

 the epoxy coats.

We left the piece drying like this to prevent the dust on the air to set on the epoxy coats.

Thank you so much for the compliment! We were very lucky we had the chance to do this while the tiles weren't up yet. Very easy to do if you think about!

Where do you get your wood slabs from? And when squaring up the sise did you only use your trac saw? That is a really deep cut! Its beautiful.

I've got these pieces at http://www.macbeath.com/ . They did the straight edging for me, with a big machine. It was square enough to glue. Notice the tracksaw pieces were used in the outside, so I didn't bothered to check it was squared. Love the fastool track tough.
