That looks terrific! What did you end up using for the finish?
was going to ask the same question.
I talked to the guys at the shop about how to finish the slab. They said when working with epoxy and poly that it really helped to have a heated shop. It is dead of winter here and my garage hardly gets above 50 so I asked if they could help.
They used a wire brush on the edge to knock off and loose stuff, sanded to 40 grit, epoxied, and then sprayed 4 coats of poly. I'm not sure what brand they used but I could find out if anyone was really interested.
I'm glad I had them do it. I wouldn't have been able to get to it until late Spring. They charged me a couple hundred bucks and I think it is well worth it.
I'm going to try and finish things up tomorrow. I'll post more pics then once I get rid of all of the plastic and finally get it organized.
I couldn't be more pleased with how it turned out. So happy I went this direction instead of a standard pre-built desk. Last night I just sat for like two hours staring at the wood.
