Simply pouring liquid resin is certainly a much easier task than cutting glass to fit the shape of the wood, as was the case with the remarkable River Tables Series by Greg Klassen, and makes for a far more attainable DIY project. Pecky Cypress is in fact prized for this decorative textured finish, and in the case of the Glow Table Mike Warren made use of this heavily pitted surface by infilling the voids with his glow-in-the-dark resin. This creates isolated pockets of rotted wood that can be easily removed manually as it is physically much softer than the surrounding healthy cypress. ‘Pecky Cypress’ is cypress timber that has been infected with Stereum Taxodii fungus.
Mike Warren’s Pecky Cypress table is certainly a lot more striking due to the sheer amount of inlaid glowing segments but both projects are equally impressive.
Mat Brown did perhaps kick off this glowing furniture trend last year with his chestnut shelves project, in which he filled the splits and knots in the timber with a similar glow-in-the-dark resin mixture.
