So last we left off I told everyone I was struggling to get the 30 year old golden oak Watco Danish Oil to go away. Couldn't really sand it effectively and I didn't really want to go the MC stripping route. So I decided to coat the legs with a couple of coats of black polyshades after scuff sanding for adhesion?? (or at least I hope). The tops are brand new, made 100% galootish. Red oak to match the legs and aprons which were built around 1992 (formerly a banded red oak plywood top). Nothing spectacular on the work, two board top with a bit of rip sawing to size them, joint them with an 08 as needed and Titebond to hold em together. The drawer parts were cut in the 90s and never assembled for the end tables. They were strategically placed so as to avoid seeing the opening for all those years. Anyway they are now finished. These too are on my Covid agenda of actually 100% finishing projects instead of my normal 80%. SWMBOs changed over the past 30 years and their tastes were vastly different. I wasn't keen on going as dark as I did. Polyshade legs but that was due to the issues and Jeff Jewitt process for mission finish using General Finishes. I may not have been keen on the concept but I must admit I do like the look. Here they are 100% finished and only 30 years to do so... https://photos.app.goo.gl/EeuRPYENH6UtqUmk9 Scott Garrison Duluth GA |

Scott completes something in an appropriate timeframe…. Nice work - now, come on, fellow porch dwellers, admit it - looking at that, it makes you wonder what all the fuss was about….. Now I’ll have to go and start on the figured sycamore blanks that Pete Taran shipped over with my IT saw around 30 years ago. Richard Wilson Yorkshireman Galoot in Northumberland - off to the beach for a locked down family picnic. (Finishing stuff - who let tht idea get started… I’m happy enough looking at the Bookcase I made without its cornice 25 tears ago.. I’ll have to go and finish that now AND make the drawer work. Hope this doesn’t start a trend. Just imagine if we ALL had to start something , and then finish it before we started something else. Why! There’d be no end to it. Mutter mutter…..) |
