CHEAP but BEAUTIFUL Bathroom remodel. Problems with the LOG sink

What happens here

For any walnut slabs with existing cracks (a common occurrence with natural wood), pre-drill small pilot holes along the crack. Then, use screws to draw the cracked sections of wood tightly together. This helps stabilize the crack and prevent further splitting. After securing the cracks, apply mixed epoxy resin over the entire surface of the slabs, paying particular attention to filling these repaired cracks. The epoxy not only seals the wood but also enhances the natural grain and provides a durable, smooth finish.

Goal: Repair cracks and seal walnut slabs for use as shelves.
