I have one I with a couple of lifelike platypuses I carved and embedded in the resin. Have put all sorts of stuff in burl boles over the years.

Ive got a large redgum slab coffee table, made it before I knew anything and found this site. However we lost some good friends as they still dont beleive the frogs imbedded in the resin holes arent real but from a discony shop.:D

I ran into a couple selling these at a local jamboree. They were beautiful and I asked what they used as a finish. They sprayed on catalized laquer. Looked fantastic and coated the bark too.

Hi cisco, Thanks for the info on catalized lacquer will check it out.

Regards

Pal

You can however get a look on the table as though it is satin or even almost mat when viewed from above. Yet when you view it from a distance or from sitting in your lounge chair, it will reflect everything in the room in the top.

Not hard to do and in all honesty looks a great deal better, cleaner, brighter and classier than a plain satin or oiled finish. Not only would it look fantastic but it would have an absolutely amazing, almost sensual , silky soft, feel to the finish.
