Walnut and Epoxy Resin Coffee Bean Board Tutorial
21,009
Published 2021-08-01
In this video I'll show you how to make an epoxy resin board with coffee beans, or really anything you can think up to cast into it.
In this case I used coffee beans and installed handles on the edges to make it a serving tray. The handles came from Lowes Hardware and I got the piece of walnut I used from a local lumber mill.
Off camera I went ahead and cut the walnut to size and planed it smooth allowing it to fit tight in the resin mold. The tighter the fit the less epoxy waste you’ll have!

I'd add caution when adding items to the epoxy. Make sure your items are too close to the sides. You don't want to accidently route or cut into one of your items when you are finishing the board. Also, you want to avoid soaking in oil for certain woods unless you are able to ensure plenty of time for the excess oil to seep back out. You will have a very upset client if you give them a board that leaves oil behind.

Nice!
-
Thank you for being "real" by showing us your successes and also the ways NOT to do it
-
Awesome job. Thanks for the video. I'm working on my technique. Any advice on my videos would be helpful.
-
What size countersink bit did you use for the bottom of the board? 1/2" maybe??
-
Just curious... some people pour a covering coat of epoxy at the point you used the oil. It's there any reason that's an ok idea or not? Is it just so it isn't so high gloss? I appreciate your time and anyone's input as the wife and I are just getting into this.

When you used the white paste and your orbital sander, was that when u used the 3000 grit sand paper or did you have some kind of buffing pad on the sander? Thx in advance. Good video
-
Great works! Can you please provide link for the form used to mold board? Thank you.
-
Could you provide the brand name of the polish compound and the buffing pad on the sander you used. Thx.
-
This is beautiful. Do you sell them?
-
I did not see a link or description of the polish you used on the epoxy. Can you let me know what it is?
-
Did you fully stir the resin/hardener epoxy mix for 5 minutes BEFORE adding the coffee beans or only give it the full stir time AFTER adding the coffee beans to the resin/hardener epoxy mix?
-
How long did you wait between layers?
-
Where did you bought the silicone mold ?
-
Im currently trying to make a coffee bean epoxy board and im having troubles adding the beans without having them turn the clear epoxy yellowish. Is there anything you did specifically to avoid that?
