Having admired a table with a sleek tapered base and a simple concrete top, I wanted to try my hand at a similar mixed-media build. I was nervous about incorporating concrete into a wood-working project, but I found it easier and less expensive than I had expected. With a $20 water-heater drip pan and a bag of concrete mix, I successfully cast a tabletop on my first try, with enough leftover material to make two more. I learned that a spritz of a release agent makes it easier to pop the top out of its form, and sealing the cured concrete with paste wax yields a soft, powder-free finish that resists water stains.
