Looks great Chris! You certainly can use an epoxy resin to level the surface out. Just make sure that you finish the concrete/wood connection lines to the level that you want. Cheers! Hope it goes well!

My wife loves https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/d621b2939418d71453c844434df222e1211d74aa4ad7951b272bd29d1d4b5aee.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/008624d6e335a7603172dac8bea818e0b13f9e782443bfe8e49961182009d23f.jpg it and I think it is my best work to date.

Just flipped my table too over and like yours some of the concrete got under the wood. Have you ever used or heard of anyone using an epoxy resin to level the surface of the wood to match the concrete? Thanks.

Hi Blake, the concrete top is heavy and stays in place — but you can certainly run a bead of silicon around the top of the metal. Or, you could use rubber pads to keep it in place and prevent from slipping. Cheers!

For concrete that will be used as a table top I recommend either 5000 psi mix or countertop mix if it is available to you, as you want the smoothest results possible.
