Yesterday, I moved Maple Trestle Table out of the shop into a larger room that was transformed into a photo studio. Today, I took a number of pictures and have begun sorting through them to find the best.
One of my favourite detail shots is of an epoxy resin-filled fissure in the beautifully figured top. Scroll up to the top of this page to see it in the header.
Do you like this shot as much as I do?

You got me again! I was half expecting a full table shot. That is a cool pic though. You need a wide angle lens!
Hi Brian,
I call it, “selective cropping”. Glad you like the picture.

Stop the teasing and give us a picture. No more ‘Finish Teasing’ or we will march on Vancover and ‘Strip Tease’ it for ya!
All being said, and and honest opinion. I would prefer Black Epoxy. I like the Negative space it creates, shadow, depth and void. However it is not Turqoise…gak on that.
Hi Morgan,
I still have more shooting and reviewing. When I’m ready, I’ll unleash them all! I have a bunch of detail photos already. I still need to shoot the full pictures… it’s no fun moving a big table around on photo paper by yourself!
A few others suggested black epoxy as well, but I like being able to see the depth. I think black epoxy would look too much like black paint.

Reminds me of a band who plays everything from their debut album except the hit waiting for the crowd to cheer for an encore.
okay, do we get the photos already?!?

The Phoenix tribe has spoken!

It is beautiful! But you really know how to build anticipation, don’t you?!!
