Kinda started a new hobby , after planters I made for her roses I started sanding and varnishing some logs I’d saved for tables. No room in the house so had s brainwave. Beer tables for my decking. To make them long lasting I thought I would cover them in resin. New sander new orbital sander loads of discs and 60 quids worth of resin later. It’s hard work and iv not quite got the hang of it yet but I think they look pretty good. Last pic was 2230 tonight so iv not finished it yet. Not a clue on the wood type it was thrown in van on a scrounge
What type of resin are you using (well, I'm in US so pretty far off). End grain is always hard because it will want to split and do all kinds of unsavory things as the moisture content of the air changes. Resin is definitely the best play, might need to resin both ends to effectively seal off any ambient moisture if possible. I'm no expert but I've always had a hard time making round cuts do anything that I wanted in the long term.
Who new it gives off bubbles for ages , now iv watched some you tube videos I’m taking the second one back to bare wood and starting again , I should have done a Light coat underneath to seal the cracks from below. If a jobs worth doing an all that
Two sealing coats then touched the smaller cracks up, turns out I should have rubbed the first seal coat in by hand then blow torched the bubbles out. We learn by our mitsakes
