The top of the table was made out of Tasmanian Blackwood with resin across the centre. The resin was made with two different types of green pigments with clear resin poured over the top to give it depth, creating a river-like impression. The legs were made out of recycled wood. The wood was cut into eight different sections that were then placed together in an octagon shape with a hole down the centre. The sections were then covered in resin and vacuum sealed together. The entire length was then cut in half to make the two legs and then put onto a Spiral Cutting Jig. After the legs were cut, fibre-glass and resin were put through the centre of the legs to help with structural integrity.
