concrete coffee table and end tables

Its hard for the camera to pick up all the detail and richness of this table…… This is a concrete coffee table and 2 end table that I built. I used 7 colors of acid stain to achieve the color and rich details in the coffee table. For added effects I used quarts stone to add veins to the concrete that would be highlighted by the colors because the quarts will not take up the stain. I then epoxy coated the coffee table for a smooth glassy surface. The end tables only have concrete sealer on them because epoxy is expensive and when you set hot things on epoxy it can indent the surface therefore the end tables allow you to set hot things on them… There were more techniques that I used other than acid stain to achieve these effects. Most of which is in my mix design… I would be more than happy to answer any questions, be patient with your work and don’t get frustrated. Remember anyone can cast some concrete but few have the artistic side to achieve their desired results.
