concrete bar and potters table

 This bar was just poured 4 days previous. It's been ground and rubbed.
 There's still work to be done inside and out.
The bar is the right size for a small area but still can serve 4 to 5 people comfortably.
                                                                    sold
 This custom 2'x6' table top is to be used for potting. The owner is building his own legs and supports out of cedar.
This terrosso finish is ground to 200 grit to provide plenty of tooth for the topical sealer.

coffee table tops

 These table tops were just ground to a fine polished finish. I really enjoy to see the different colors, shapes,and aggregate characteristics appear during this process.
 The two tables were poured at once with slightly different mixes.
The best part about the grinding is that you really can't be sure exactly what your gonna get. It's kinda like Christmas. The box is square, but it doesn't mean what's in it is.
These table tops still have to be sealed and waxed.
