The idea of registration of premises do not know borders. I remember, more recently, the limit of the desires of our fellow citizens have the wallpaper in small flower and Romanian "wall." Today, designers are coming up with an increasing number of interesting novelties, which should give a room originality and uniqueness. One such innovation was the table-river. Such furniture has become a boon for connoisseurs of beauty and sustainability. The table is perfect for any eco-style, allows you to enjoy a piece of nature among the dirty city or emphasize the beauty of a country manor.
River table refers to the style of "live edge". Such a direction of design ideas should highlight the beauty of the natural world, without the use of dyes and chemicals, with a minimum of additional processing. The table is particularly unique. The second is the creation can not be created, any two tables to be a little bit, but different from each other.

I created a table with the river American carpenter Greg Klassen. For the basics, he used what was considered waste: saw cut with all sorts of irregularities, knots, cracks and other troubles, it is not suitable for the manufacture of reliable and prestigious furniture.
Reference! Such saw cut (horizontal or vertical) were called slab. Carpenter stepped bumps and cracks of wood, and then inserted into a blue transparent glass. As a result of these manipulations appeared unusual surface like a river in the valley.
Unusual table immediately gained popularity among designers who gladly seized on the new decor elements.
Today, a similar piece of furniture is considered a model of good taste and wealth, as well as a sign of commitment to ecological lifestyle.
instead of glass are often used colored epoxy resin, instead of the river makes the "lakes" inside "water" put small objects or make drawings, or for imitating the bottom.
In the US and Europe, such tables have long become used to decorate homes and offices, and in Russia they are still considered a novelty and are quite rare. Often these pieces of furniture made by skilled craftsmen on their own, but that requires some experience. And for the price it can not be compared with the majority of mass-produced products. And not not be compared to the best. Solid wood will cost quite expensive handyman.
How to make a table with the river on their own
There are several ways to create a fashion design element.
The simplest of these is to strengthen a prepared glass table tops in the slots, then the surface can be lightly sanded and varnished.
Worktop itself is represented by two slabs with finished edges or one Spila on the inside hollow.
Everything is simple and fast.
The second way is quite labor intensive and not always successful. Often the epoxy resin hardens did not go as planned the novice master.
To manufacture this unusual surface required cut a tree, colored epoxy resin and set of tools.
Spila oak, beech, ash, walnut and other precious wood debarked (if it does not fit into the master plans), the edges are processed. Is attached to the outer ends of a clear geometric shape, inner edge will represent the mainstream of the river, so they make the winding.
The gap between the two pieces of wood filled with blue epoxy, which will depict the river. The resin hardens.
The surface is then carefully polished and treated with lacquer or wax. Perhaps, that's it.
Technology seems to be quite simple, but it only seems so. You must have quality tools and experience of working with materials. So do not much upset if the first creation will get crooked. It is always possible to send to the country or to hide a beautiful tablecloth.
