Boredpanda The epoxy resin containing the glow powder is then carefully poured into all the cavities of the Pecky Cypress to make the table glow. Boredpanda The damaged pockets need to have all the rot removed with a flat-head screwdriver and then sanded down. The planks are bound together and their size varies depending on how big or small the table has to be. Boredpanda In an interview with Bored Panda, Warren explains how he got inspired “I thought of this project after browsing the aisles at a lumber store and seeing Pecky Cypress, I’ve never seen anything like it and knew I wanted to make something with it” Boredpanda Choosing the right piece or Cypress with just enough hollows will produce the most light. The glow table has a unique glowing effect that gives it a truly unique look and it’s a combination of wood and epoxy resin. If you don’t have the tools needed, you can order a custom-made table directly from Warren’s Etsy shop. The table is the brainchild of Mike Warren, an Instructables enthusiast and a regular blogger at (Man Crafts section). It’s definitely one of the most unique trees on earth.
After cutting the tree, the fungus dies and leaves indentations or “pockets” in the wood. Pecky Cypress is a type of wood that forms pockets due to a natural fungus that sculpts the tree. It may look like it’s out of this world but a glow epoxy resin table can actually be built at home using some Pecky Cypress planks and photoluminescent powder mixed with resin. Imagine sitting outside and as the sun sets for the day, your table begins to glow with photoluminescent goodness.
