Cool idea Dick.
I did a pour over carved table a couple years ago. I think I posted some photos here.
We also do a lot of pour overs with Envirotex on tops that are not carved.
Seal it up very well before you do the pour over. The end grain that is exposed by carving seems to be much more susceptible to producing air bubbles.
I can't recall her name, but I have spoken to a woman at Envirotex on several occasions. She really knows what she is taking about and is very helpful. She has done a lot of pours I think. She doesn't just read you a manual over the phone. Don't be afraid to give her a call if you have any concerns or need ideas. She has came up with some useful an creative solution for me in the past.
