Make sure to have "L" shaped rebar coming out of the base into your wood formed 'pan' (so to speak) and fill the 'pan' with wire mesh (this rebar provides shear strength). Then pour with high strength concrete, possibly 4000 psi. (before you pour, support the pan with temporary wood legs for support). Finish the top how you want, such as a broom or brush finish, but I would do a smooth trowel finish. Allow to cure several days, I'd imagine at least 5-8.
