Epoxy may seem intimidating for new woodworkers, but once mastered, it becomes addictive.
It unlocks a realm of possibilities, fostering limitless creativity. Begin with smaller projects, gradually mastering intricacies, and progress to larger pours.
Best of luck on your epoxy journey! ✌️

Reflecting on my woodworking journey since 2018, I’m amazed at how far I’ve come. I started with farmhouse tables and benches, moved on to American flags made from Home Depot Pine, and then to crafting cheese and cutting boards.
The real transformation happened when I did my first epoxy pour. The fusion of wood and epoxy quickly became my passion.
Now, I’m more inspired than ever to create unique, rustic-refined pieces using fine hardwoods, high quality epoxy, and natural materials cast into the resin.
If you’ve enjoyed my recent projects, stay tuned! This is the exciting new direction my art is heading.

Epoxy is relatively simple to use with the right approach, but we’ve all stumbled along the way. Here are my top 5 mistakes, so you can avoid them:
1. Rushing the Cure: Patience is key! Wait a minimum of full 4 days before handling your piece to avoid weak epoxy that cracks or bends.
2. Prep is Everything: Don’t skimp on prep! Seal edges before pouring to prevent pesky bubbles from ruining your masterpiece.
3. Timing is Crucial: Don’t miss the swirling window! Trying to swirl too late can lead to unsightly bubbles.
4. Don’t Jump the Gun: Swirl too early and risk wasting your efforts as the epoxy settles.
5. Measure Twice, Pour Once: Accurate measurements are a game-changer! Avoid wasting epoxy by ensuring you’re pouring the right amount.

The chamfered wrap around handle has become my go-to for a stylish cutting board.
It is both functional and looks great, giving the boards depth and angles.
What is your favorite style for cutting board handles?

Reflecting on the days I made tables from Home Depot lumber with a circular saw, drill, and kreg jig.
I am so appreciative of where this hobby has taken me in just 4 years.
Thanks for all of the continued support 🙏

Don’t let your lack of space and tools stop you from chasing the dream. 🪵🪚
I started in a small corner of a garage and had to keep everything on wheels so my wife could park her car in the garage when I wasn’t working.
I built Pine Knot Wood Design one sale at a time, reinvesting all my profits into building this shop. 💰
Now I have a dedicated space with everything I need to put out some great products.
We all have to start somewhere. Never underestimate the power of hard work and perseverance. 💯

Reflecting on my epoxy resin journey: Opting for plastic molds initially seemed like a budget-friendly choice, but I quickly discovered the benefits of silicone.
Plastic molds warp under the heat of epoxy curing, allowing more epoxy to seep around edges and underneath. This adds some extra steps to ensure a clean and square finish. Epoxy is also pricey so conserving every drop is crucial.
Investing in silicone molds from the beginning would have been worth the investment. Lesson learned: prioritize quality over savings for long-term gains! 💰

I have always had a deep seeded passion for the outdoors and the beauty of nature.
I fell in love with creating wood designs that exude rustic charm and bring the outdoors into my home.
“Rustic Refined” combines the charm of natural, raw materials with the sophistication of polished craftsmanship.
It embodies a balance between rugged, organic elements and elegant, refined design, resulting in pieces that exude both rustic warmth and contemporary appeal.

While I use templates on some of my products, I always prefer to freehand my shapes when I can.
This ensures that each board has a unique design and is truly one of a kind.

Brining this project life is so satisfying!
The final stage might be tedious, but the outcome is worth it. I sand this epoxy from 80 to 2000 grit for flawless perfection, then polish it to reveal a smooth, crystal-clear finish.

When making my boards I love to leave as much character as possible from the original piece of wood.
This board features a unique live edge and this long crack down its face that I filled with epoxy to give it color and character.

The Pine Knot Brand holds a special place in my life. Named after the street where my parents ran thriving businesses for over three decades, it embodies our family legacy.
Just like them, I pour dedication, commitment, and meticulous attention to detail into every product, striving to uphold the tradition of successful small business ownership.

Refinishing this bar top from renewcoffeellc!
As a mobile coffee cart, they serve up some incredible drinks in the area. I recently had the honor of refinishing their bar top, which was in need of some TLC.
After sanding it down to a smooth 400 grit, I applied two coats of @superclearepoxy tabletop epoxy for added durability and shine.
Now, it’s ready to withstand their busy schedule while maintaining its pristine look. If you’re in the Colorado front range area, don’t miss the chance to grab one of their fantastic coffee drinks! ☕️
