Epoxy was done in layered effect. Filling the river which was almost 3/4” deep plus the top 1/4”.
Two part resin available from woodcraft supply. mix equal parts, pour it on- levels itself, sand, pour, sand, pour, add rocks and logs, pour somemore, etc.

Fantastic tying station. I have always told my self I will build one of these one day. My fly fishing experience was taught to me by a guy in upstate New York and he was a master at tying flies. He would be very jealous!! Great job!!!

Wonderful. Inspires me.. Thanks for sharing

The best fly tying table I have ever seen. I can hardly wait to see your other projects.

Love it. If you can tie flies like you work the wood you will not go hungry.

-- If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail!

Wow, I want one! Great design, looks fantastic.

Great Job, Threehands!!! Welcome to Lumberjocks.

-- Dennis Zongker

Atta boy. I like this one a lot.

-- A thing of beauty is a joy forever...

I tie flies and play with lumber and that, my friend, is the perfect blend of two amazing talents. What a great piece of work.

Might be a great useful touch to add very thin cork strips maybe inside the doors for hanging finished or almost finished (pre-epoxied) flies.

Really nice work here.

-- Measure, cut, curse, repeat.

That is special. Well done.

Very impressive piece. You did a beautiful job on it. Thanks for posting.

God Bless

Absolutely stunning table/cabinet,I particularly like the reels & hooks & the fact that you did every aspect of the creation from the harvesting of the lumber to applying the finish.
very,very nice

I don’t know what any of that apparatus is, or how it would be used, but that chest on stand is wonderful. There are loads of details that catch the eye and draw the attention – Very well done!

You teach me to build that and I will teach you how to tie every fly in the world!!!!!

Nice job!!

If I can tie flies any moron can.

that’s sweet!
nothing better than tying your own flies and then catching a fish on them…
nothing better? well == to do that on a bench that you made yourself, well, that’s over the top!

Love it.

Great table. I just started fly fishing and am learning to tie flies. Good job.

that is freaking sweet.

I dont even fly fish and I want to make one. very nice work.

I tie and sell my flies and I am working out of an old dressing cabinet… I planed to build a flip down table for the tieing.. but instead build a small portable tieing station. I have my 6-pack and guide in FLA when I am bored. But lately I am more and more working in my “shed” I think it has to do with eye strain then anything else.. I put on my google glasses and crank out the order and put it all away… I primarily tie Salt patterns.. but I grew up in and around trout waters in the mountains of CA and the Vally’s of PA/Md/Va/NY so I know a midge from a Clouser Minnow.. but I can tie them all.. Its like a DREAM Tieng station… wonderfully executed and quite breathtaking..

Beauty, well executed..

IF ya are in FLA near Tampa Ill teach you not only how to tie the flies but cast like ya know what your doing.
If your really adventurous.. come down in May/June and Ill get ya a look at a Tarpon… So ya know Never Ever to fish for ittybitties anymore…
