How We Build Custom Epoxy Tables

When people see a finished epoxy river table, the first reaction is usually, “How do you even make something like that?” And honestly… it’s a process. A long, hands-on, sawdust-covered, messy, beautiful process — especially this time of year when everyone is getting their homes ready for Thanksgiving and the holidays.

We wanted to walk you through exactly how we build these tables, step-by-step, and show you why a custom epoxy table is one of the most meaningful pieces you can bring into your home.

1. It all starts with the wood  
We hand-select slabs from suppliers in Southern California. Walnut and maple create warm, rich tones — perfect for holiday gatherings. Each slab has its own character.

2. Preparing the slabs  
We flatten, and prep each slab so it’s perfectly ready for the river pour.

3. Designing your epoxy color + layout  
We work with you to choose epoxy colors that match your home. For Thanksgiving builds, darker tones or warm translucent colors pair beautifully with walnut.

4. The epoxy pour  
Epoxy is mixed, tinted, and poured slowly to create the river effect. It cures over 24–72 hours.

5. Sanding and shaping  
This is where the beauty comes out. We smooth edges, refine surfaces, and shape the table so it’s safe and ready for family life.

6. Finishing and sealing  
We use durable, food-safe finishes that withstand spills, hot dishes, and all the beautiful chaos of the holidays.

7. Delivery to your home  
Seeing our tables in your space is our favorite moment. Every piece becomes part of a family’s story — especially around Thanksgiving and Christmas.
