First grain pop on this large figured Mesquite live edge slab that will be a waterfall coffee table. We are applying seal a cell prior to cutting the miter waterfall to help prevent any tear out. We followed that up with 2 coats of Arm R Seal Gloss with the last 2 top coats in Satin (gloss before satin for durability and clarity), half sheet sanding with 320 between coats.

Grain Pop with Seal A Cell on Bookmatched Ebonized Maple
By Ryan, Owner/Craftsman/Photographer at LumberLust Designs in Phoenix, AZ.
Winning Category
We've been commissioned to create two custom ebonized maple 20x18 C-Tables with steel chevron frames. We cut out top pieces from a large 8/4 big leaf Maple live edge slab and then resawed the piece to have a bookmatched pair of tops at a finished thickness of 5/8." All bark voids and cracks were filled with System 3 tinted epoxy resin, the piece was ebonized using an aniline dye. This video shows the first grain pop with General Finished Seal A Cell after ebonizing and finish sanding,

We created this wild eye popping bench using a 6" thick highly figured live edge big leaf Maple slab that we've ebonized and paired with custom i-beam chevron legs. The slab top has been finished using Seal A Cell and Arm R Seal. The i-beam legs were created using reclaimed salvaged steel and finished in an iridescent gold powdercoat.
