Re: Ready To Pour


still needs to dry, existing top absorbs water, when completely dry, line will sharpen.

Re: Ready To Pour


Very cool, man! Like the progress pics...

When the infill concrete has set up, do you polish it to match the glossiness of the other pieces?

thanks mac, on this piece we will not polish the inlays. the contrast is what we are looking . the sealer will create a continuity in the top. on some pieces we do polish out the inlays, G

Re: Ready To Pour


Lookin good gene

Thats a great idea you had there. I for one know how hard it is to get regular seams to line up nice and tight, much less getting fancy like that. The hardest one I've done was an S shaped seam. Check it out on my site when you get a chance.

Takes a lot of work to get em to look nice.. that is for sure.

Re: Ready To Pour


Gene,

WOW! I love it. Great work. One of my homeowners installed a concrete countertop with little pieces of red glass scattered around. It was amazing! What's the most interesting design you've done?
