In the hills of East Tennessee—where mountain trails cut through forests and the rivers shimmer with early morning light—there’s a workshop where nature meets artistry in an unforgettable way. Welcome to Liberating Wood, the Knoxville-based home of faith-driven craftsman Richard Spiller, where epoxy wood tables become timeless centerpieces filled with story, soul, and style.
Richard doesn’t just build furniture. He reveals the hidden beauty within wood—and with the creative power of epoxy, he takes it one step further. His custom epoxy wood tables bring together raw timber and vivid resin, forming one-of-a-kind creations that feel as alive as the forests they come from.
Unlike traditional wood furniture, epoxy wood tables feature a bold visual element: flowing resin pours that run through the wood like rivers, filling voids, enhancing grain, and adding unexpected color and depth. These pours can be translucent, metallic, colored, or even glittered—each one a creative collaboration between wood, artist, and client.
At Liberating Wood, Richard uses epoxy not just as an accent, but as a storytelling device.
And the best part? No two epoxy wood tables are ever the same.
Richard’s approach to woodworking is deeply rooted in his Christian faith. Every project begins with prayer, continues with patience, and ends with purpose. To him, each slab is a gift—something formed by God and entrusted to his care.
By combining his deep respect for nature with artistic innovation, Richard transforms simple slabs into statement pieces. Whether it’s a dining table, coffee table, or desk, his epoxy creations are made to gather families, anchor conversations, and bring beauty to everyday life.
When you own one of Richard’s epoxy wood tables, you’re not just investing in design—you’re inviting in intention.
What sets epoxy apart is its ability to enhance natural flaws, rather than hide them. Cracks, knots, and voids become dramatic features when filled with vibrant resin. Richard often uses locally sourced slabs of black walnut, maple, cherry, or cedar—each one selected for its grain, character, and emotional potential.
And while the wood may be rustic, the craftsmanship is anything but. Each epoxy wood table is meticulously poured, cured, sanded, and finished with a combination of modern precision and old-world integrity.
It’s this unique blend of nature and innovation that gives epoxy tables their soul.
One Knoxville family commissioned a large epoxy wood dining table using wood from a storm-felled oak on their property. Richard designed it with a glossy, emerald green resin pour running through the center—a nod to the family’s Irish roots. The result? A table that honors their heritage and gives new life to a beloved tree.
Another client, an artist and teacher, asked Richard to create a desk with clear epoxy showcasing layered pigment swirls and tiny embedded stones from a hiking trip with her late father. That epoxy wood table became more than furniture—it became a memorial, a place of inspiration.
These are not off-the-shelf pieces. These are story-driven heirlooms, made with care, prayer, and creativity.
One reason epoxy wood tables are in such high demand is their versatility:
From minimalist studios to mountain lodges, epoxy tables make a statement. They reflect their owner’s style and become the centerpiece of the room.
✅ Faith-driven craftsmanship
✅ Locally sourced hardwoods
✅ True customization
✅ One-of-a-kind design experience
✅ Built to honor both beauty and function
Richard walks every client through the design journey—from slab selection to final pour. His epoxy wood tables are a result of careful conversation, mutual trust, and reverence for both the material and the moment.
Although based in Knoxville, TN, Richard’s work with epoxy wood tables has captured attention well beyond the state line. His tables now grace homes, offices, and churches across the U.S.—each one carrying with it the scent of Tennessee wood, the soul of craftsmanship, and the signature of a man who works with faith in his hands.
