Live Edge Slab Prep: Cleaning, Bark Removal & Epoxy Ready

In this video, I walk through how I clean and prep a live edge wood slab for an epoxy pour. Proper preparation is one of the most important steps when working with epoxy—if you skip this or rush it, your final piece can suffer from poor adhesion, trapped debris, or loose bark.

I’ll show you how I remove bark, clean out debris, and get the slab fully ready for epoxy so you can get a clean, professional result.

Whether you're building a river table, charcuterie board, or a custom slab project, this process will help you start off the right way.

🔨 What I cover:

Removing loose bark safely

Cleaning out dirt, dust, and debris

Prepping the live edge for epoxy adhesion
