📚  Building Wood and Resin River-Style Tables by Bradlyn Zimmerman
This book is more than a how-to – it’s a look inside the process, care, and craftsmanship that goes into every river table we build here at The Ole Wood Shack.
 
When Fox Chapel Publishing first reached out and asked me to write Building Wood and Resin River-Style Tables, I saw it as an opportunity to share what really goes into each piece – from choosing the right slab, to working with resin, to designing a table that feels timeless and natural in any space.
Inside, you’ll find over 30 photos of tables I’ve built, including coffee tables, dining tables, and waterfall edge pieces. Each page shows the intentional work behind what eventually becomes the table you gather around at home.
✨ What You’ll See Inside
✔️ How your live edge slabs are prepared and shaped
✔️ The pouring and finishing process for resin rivers
✔️ The care taken at each stage to ensure quality
✔️ Different design options and build styles
✔️ A gallery of pieces built in my shop – each with its own story
When you order a custom table from The Ole Wood Shack, you’re not just buying furniture – you’re investing in something crafted by hand with methods refined over years of building. This book offers a window into that world, so you can see exactly how your table was – or will be – created.
