Have a vision for a dining table, bar top, or home office desk that doesn’t exist yet? Jeff and his team hand-build each piece from premium hardwoods and precision-poured epoxy — custom to your space, your dimensions, and your style.
Mitchell Woodwork maintains an in-house live edge slab inventory, so you can walk in, put your hands on the wood, and choose what becomes your piece. Available hardwood species include black walnut, white oak, hard maple, cherry, and locally sourced Texas species including mesquite and pecan — each with its own grain character and natural edge profile. Slabs are properly milled flat using a router sled or wide-belt planer before any joinery begins. Traditional techniques — mortise-and-tenon joints, dovetail work, precision glue-ups — are used throughout. No shortcuts in the structure.
The epoxy side of Mitchell’s work uses a professional-grade two-part resin system mixed at precise ratios by weight — not volume, which is where amateur pours go wrong. Resin is poured into melamine-coated molds in controlled layers of ½” to 1″ at a time, with each layer curing 16 to 24 hours before the next is added. This controlled layering is what produces crystal-clear results without cloudiness, heat cracks, or trapped air. Bubbles are removed with a torch during the wet phase. The fully cured surface is wet-sanded progressively — from 220 grit up through 600, 1,000, and 2,000 — and then polished to a glass finish or left satin, depending on your preference.
Once the epoxy is cured and polished, the wood surfaces receive a topcoat appropriate for the piece’s use. Food-safe applications like bar tops and dining tables are finished with Rubio Monocoat or hardwax oil — products that penetrate the wood fiber rather than sitting on top, so they don’t peel or yellow over time. High-traffic surfaces can be finished with a catalyzed polyurethane for maximum durability. Jeff walks every client through the finish options and explains what each will look and feel like after years of daily use.
Fabrication for custom furniture and epoxy work typically runs 2 to 6 weeks depending on complexity, with progress updates provided throughout. Finished pieces are delivered and placed in your home — and if the furniture is part of a broader kitchen, bathroom, or whole-home remodel, Jeff’s licensed general contractor background means it integrates seamlessly into the surrounding work. You deal with one person, one shop, and one clear proposal from start to finish.
We keep an active live edge slab inventory at our Round Rock shop. You pick the actual piece of wood — the grain, the natural edge, the character — before a single cut is made. No catalog guessing.
Our resin pours use a weight-ratio two-part system, poured in controlled ½"–1" layers with 16–24-hour cure windows between each. The result is optically clear, bubble-free epoxy — not the cloudy, yellowed results that rushed pours produce.
Jeff doesn't start work until you have a written proposal with exact scope, dimensions, species, finish, and price. No vague estimates. No surprise additions. You know exactly what you're getting before you commit.
Jeff holds a General Contractor license. If your custom furniture is part of a kitchen renovation, bathroom update, or whole-home remodel, it's handled under one roof, one timeline, and one point of contact. No coordination gaps.
Jeff meets with you to review your space, discuss wood species and epoxy styles, confirm exact dimensions, and walk through finish options. You leave with a clear proposal and an accurate price — before any deposit is collected.
Visit our Round Rock shop to choose your slab from live inventory. Jeff mills it flat, cuts it to dimension, and executes all joinery — mortise-and-tenon, dovetail, or glue-up depending on the piece — using traditional techniques built to last decades.
Resin is mixed by weight and poured in controlled layers into a melamine-coated mold. Each layer cures 16–24 hours before the next pour. Bubbles are removed with a torch during the wet phase. The full epoxy cure runs 5–7 days minimum — no shortcuts.
The cured surface is wet-sanded from 220 grit through 2,000 grit, then polished to your specified sheen — glass-like high gloss or soft satin. Wood surfaces receive Rubio Monocoat, hardwax oil, or catalyzed polyurethane depending on the application.
Jeff's team delivers and places the finished piece in your home. Care and maintenance instructions are provided. If the furniture is part of an active remodel, it's installed and integrated on-site as part of the broader project scope.
Custom furniture and epoxy work is priced based on the specific piece — wood species, slab size, epoxy volume, finish type, and overall project complexity all play a role. A dining-height river table and a compact coffee table are very different builds in terms of materials and labor. Rather than publish price ranges that may not reflect your piece, we give you an exact, itemized proposal during your consultation — before you decide whether to move forward. No hourly mystery charges. No add-ons that appear after you’ve committed.
If your furniture project is $5,000 or more, ask about our Spring Special — current discounts apply to qualifying contracts.
Built-to-spec kitchen, bathroom, and storage cabinetry — custom dimensions, species, and finish to match your home’s design exactly.
Floating shelves, mantels, trim work, and architectural wood details hand-crafted and installed to complement any room or renovation project.
Full kitchen, bathroom, and whole-home renovations — managed by a licensed General Contractor with 20+ years in the Round Rock area.
Most custom furniture and epoxy pieces take 2 to 6 weeks from consultation through delivery, depending on complexity. A simple floating shelf set runs faster than a full river table with multiple epoxy pours. Each layer of resin requires 16–24 hours of cure time before the next can be added, and the full epoxy cure is 5–7 days minimum — we don’t rush the chemistry. You’ll receive progress updates throughout.
Because every piece is built to your specific dimensions, wood species, and design, we price each project individually. During your consultation, Jeff provides a clear, itemized proposal covering materials, labor, and finish — before you make any commitment. There are no hourly mystery fees and no add-ons that appear mid-build. Ask about our Spring Special for qualifying projects over $5,000.
That’s exactly what the consultation is for. Jeff walks you through the available slab inventory in person — you can see, touch, and compare black walnut, white oak, maple, cherry, mesquite, pecan, and other species currently in stock. The right wood depends on the piece’s use, your home’s existing palette, and your personal preference. Jeff makes recommendations but the final choice is always yours.
Yes — and there are more options than most people expect. Standard river-table pours use pigmented or translucent epoxy in blues, greens, blacks, or naturals. Metallic mica powders create shimmering, liquid-metal effects. Alcohol inks produce geode-style patterns. Void fills can be clear or tinted. Jeff walks you through color options with samples during the consultation so there are no surprises when the pour is complete.
Yes, when it’s made correctly. Mitchell’s epoxy tops are cured fully at controlled temperatures, wet-sanded through fine grits, and finished with appropriate topcoats. Properly made epoxy furniture is heat-resistant to normal household conditions, scratch-resistant with basic care, and will not yellow the way low-grade consumer resins do. Bar tops and dining tables that will see heavy use receive a catalyzed polyurethane finish for maximum durability.
A river table uses two live edge slabs placed with their natural edges facing inward, with a channel of pigmented or clear epoxy filling the gap between them — the visual effect resembles a river flowing between two banks. A flood coat top covers the entire face of the wood slab with a level, clear epoxy layer, enhancing the grain underneath while creating a glass-smooth surface. Both techniques are available; the right choice depends on your aesthetic goals and the piece’s intended use.
Yes — this is one of the things that sets working with Mitchell Woodwork apart. Jeff maintains an active live edge slab inventory at the Round Rock shop. You’re welcome to come in, look through what’s available, and choose the actual piece of wood that will become your table or bar top before any work begins. Many clients say this is one of the most enjoyable parts of the whole process.
