MM-inspired Concrete and Live-Edge Inlay Charcuterie Board

The Cutting Bored just uploaded a video of their concrete and live-edge inlay charcuterie board.  (I'm trying to resist saying its a cutting board by the Cutting Bored :) ) The video indicates this board was inspired by my live-edge table build video, but this is really a unique twist on the design.  They used inexpensive materials and still got a great looking result.  

Generally, The Cutting Bored has a great YouTube channel going, so check out the rest of their videos as well, and show some love by subscribing.

For those that missed it, here is the original live-edge white concrete table that the Cutting Bored references in their video.

New Build Video -- DIY Cantilevered Live-Edge Table w/ White Concrete Base

I created this cantilevered coffee table from a live-edge spalted maple slab and concrete.  The angled concrete post was formed by slicing two sections from a standard 12" concrete form tube with a 15 degree angle, attaching these sections to the live edge slab, and pouring the concrete through the slab to form a solid post base extending through the table top.   To cut the 12” concrete forming tube at a 15 degree angle, I created a 12” miter box from scrap plywood.

I again used a white glass-fiber reinforced concrete (GFRC) concrete mix, and this time, poured in the face coat for the table surface.  For the backer mix, I used plasticizer to make a self-consolidating (SCC) type of GFRC.
