Two seniors in the CTE Carpentry program experimented to create tabletops in some of the latest furniture styles.

Senior Nick Goodman (Greece Odyssey) made an epoxy river table, the first of its kind at WEMOCO. This process employs tinted epoxy to create the appearance of a stream flowing through the middle of a wood surface. In the first photo, Nick used a router to remove small layers of the wood to get a perfectly smooth surface.

Senior Brian Benedetto (Churchville-Chili) used scrap lumber to make a geometric epoxy table. He programmed the CNC machine to cut hexagons out of scrap elm. The plywood base was a window cutout from the student-built house. Once he had the hexagons positioned, he poured the epoxy to highlight the one-of-a-kind design.
