sounds like an awesome project! Here's a little tutorial I found on doing that sort of project - it addresses how to add the "lip" so the resin doesn't drip.
I like the term "Memory Table!" See above for a description of what I'm planning to put in it - you'll love it!
What a great website, too. Thank you so much!
And don't worry about round versus square - I'm getting more and more hopeful that I can do something with moulding and still keep it a circle. I'll see what they might have lying aroung Construction Junction this weekend.
My roommate in college had a barstool that a friend of hers made, but it was just pictures and flat things.
...If it didn't have to be wood, you could do thin (flexible) metal sheeting. A liberal dose of glue to adhere the sheeting to the table (and maybe even a thin line of caulk on the inside, between table top and sheeting) would keep resin from going down between the table and sheeting.
The metal sheeting would probably be the easiest, since it bends rather than snaps. I hadn't thought about using caulk, though, but that's a great idea, and then I can paint over it with my little cans of rose and gold and orange and whatnot.
Be sure to get the paintable caulk. There's paintable and non paintable. You might get multi-surface primer, too, you can get it in a spray can, that way it will be easier to paint the metal and wood.

ETA: RIF, Amber. You want a round table. Never mind.
