River tables have taken the woodworking world by storm, and it’s easy to see why. The striking blend of natural wood and flowing epoxy resin creates a one-of-a-kind piece of functional art that instantly becomes the centerpiece of any room. While the choice of wood species sets the tone for your table, the epoxy color you select is what truly brings the piece to life. From bold, vibrant tones to subtle, smoky hues, your epoxy river can completely change the personality of your table.
At Vinogradofff, every project we take on tells a story. But our latest creation has truly pushed the limits of our craftsmanship. Meet the “Map of the Caribbean”, a stunning spalted maple and epoxy river table unlike anything we’ve done before. From concept to completion, this project was our biggest build yet, involving months of planning, teamwork, and over 200 litres of resin.

This woodworking process involves taking two consecutive slabs from the same log and opening them up like a book, allowing the grain pattern to mirror itself on each side. The result? A stunning, symmetrical pattern that looks as though nature itself has painted the design into the wood.
