This is pretty cool. Ran across it on another forum. I wouldn’t mind having a bar top like this.

And money. I wonder how much those stairs cost. Live edge/poured epoxy tables run several thousand dollars.Kind of like these steps I found online. It's amazing what kind of talent is out there.

I made this tabletop for a small coffee table last summer because I wanted to try it. And needed a coffee table top! Serious work involved… just to do a “forts of Lake Champlain” table.
Those stairs must have cost a fortune!

Actually carved to lake depth on a CNC mill. Friends of mine makes the lake cut-outs for people to hang on their cottage walls. Takes charts and translates them into code for his CNC router. But he doesn’t do the epoxy fill. Turns out the epoxy filling is actually pretty easy. The hard part is keeping up enough meniscus to cut it back. But it worked out really well.And here I thought your skill set was limited. That's pretty phenomenal !!
Are the bottom contours in the blue areas a representation of actual depth data or just the way you made the table? It's still impressive either way.
After the epoxy pour, what did you do sand or flatten it? It looks very well done.

winestoppers.Ive looked into that a little for making my own wine stoppers and pens. Those are very expensive to buy like the pics below.

my first guess was buttplugs .
I've been in the bearpit too long.
BTW, back to the OP's post... that table is unreal! The Croc.
It said it took him 100 hours? That's 2.5 weeks? That's all? I would have thought something like that would take weeks of solid work. I know he used a chainsaw for some of it. But... damn! Some utterly mad skills right there. Michaelangelo level stuff!
Thanks for posting! I sent the link to some carver/woodworker friends.

Well, those CNC routers don't just program themselves....You can see in a couple of pictures that he rough cut the croc with an NC router.
