Watch Make an Epoxy Riverboard Easy above
Board must be either 10" x 18" or 16" x 11"
Decide on wood: walnut or olive
Choose epoxy color
Make a sketch on plain white paper showing wood (colored approximately to the correct color) and resin (also approximate) color. The natural shape of the wood shapes your "river." But right now you can decide if the resin will pour around your wood like in the board with the "R", if it will pour on just one side like the "M" or if it will pour in between two pieces of wood.
