Amazing skills and thanks for believing in my mantra that knowledge grows by sharing! Keep up the good work.

Great extension of your painting skills. You are a true artist who enjoys the challenge of transforming a giant jagged slab of wood into a beautiful live edge masterpiece. This man loves a big canvas to display his art - go Bulldog!

What is the difference between stonecoat and high gloss poly urethane? I made a table out of a box truck bed many years back (for our breakfast room) after sanding it, sealing it, and using a trowel and brush to apply the urethane (not the brush dab thing though). It was tough getting the bubbles out. Because it was a truck bed, I do beat on this table a bit, so it does need to be refinished at some point. Its one of those things on my "honey-do" list...

Main advantage of stone coat over poly urethane appears to be that it is flame resistant thus allowing the surface to be torched to release small air bubbles.

From his videos it appears sealing the wood surface three times allows the thick porous wood slab to absorb as much sealant as possible (saturation), thus preventing release of any air bubbles later (warm weather exposure).

I''ll let the maestro ratify and add his comments.

Stone coat is much thicker than a poly, or varnish, or 2k system. It allows me to apply a true flood coat that will level. I use polyurethane much because it takes many coats of build to be able to achieve this look. I will top coat this slab with a conversion varnish to add color and abrasion resistance, then I'll rub out the finish with polishing equipment.
