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.

The cross project
After two days of designing and form work, the rebar is ready to be cut and tied in place.
Rebar is added to the base of the cross to make a flare that will be formed up later when attaching to the pedestal . After all rods are in place, the top decorative molding is screwed on.
.
The #8 rebars are supported by spacer blocks that keep them in the center during the pour.
Cross project pouring
This is the cross 24 hours after the pour. It has been stripped ,cleaned and rubbed to a finish.
After 5 days the cross will be strong enough to be flipped over. At this time the bottom forms will be stripped off. The front of the cross shown now will be a duplicate of the rear.
After the forms are removed , this side will then be finished.
The concrete will be up to 80% of it's total strength after 7 days.
Concrete is then poured, finished,and let be to start the curing process.
After 24 hours the forms will be stripped off .
