The creator attempts to build a massive round table out of a walnut cookie slab. He details the fabrication process, encounters challenges with dry ice blasting, epoxy filling, wood grain sealing, and a table base collaboration with another woodworker, ultimately concluding that trapped moisture ruined the slab for table use.

Answers: How do you build a large live edge walnut cookie table with epoxy?
- live-edge walnut cookie table
- epoxy wood finishing
- dry ice blasting wood
- wood moisture detection
What it concludes
- Pure Space dry ice blasting cleaned the slab well, but the $1,500 minimum charge makes it impractical for average woodworkers.
- Sealing end grain with epoxy prevents black epoxy from bleeding into the wood and staining it.
- A Wagner Orion moisture meter is essential for checking wood moisture content before starting a build.
- Trapped moisture pockets in the walnut cookie slab made the finished table unusable.
