Thank you all for the nice comments.  I had to look at it for while to see what to call it!! It seemed like the only thing to do with this piece of wood. I had to wait quite a while for the temp to get above 70 to pour the epoxy but it all worked out before he have to drive back home.

Hi Bruce, actually it was really cold down here all winter until recently.  We had ice on the windshield many a day!
Cheers, Jim
