Cracks in tables filled with seashells, starfish and stones

In Craft by Anja, December 9, 2015

Tables made from raw lumber, while beautiful, often have little natural imperfections that need to be filled up or removed. Woodcraft By Design, a creative woodworking studio in Auckland, New Zealand, solves this problem by filling those holes with crystal-clear inlays that let you see the shells, starfish, stones, leaves or even bugs embedded within.

Inlays like this are often created using clear resin, which dries hard and durable. This material has loads of fascinating applications so it can even be made into a glow-in-the-dark art.
