My wife and I done this over the weekend when our house was being remodeled. It was very easy for the construction guys to fit it with the tiles.

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.

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

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

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.
