Thread: Desk - Cypress Pine

Well, it is looking more like a desk now. It still needs to be sanded back and final coat done, handles, and a back on the lower cupboard.

The cypress pine really has a nice grain, and is very different than Radiata, I never realised until I used the radiata for the lining just how different it is, the cypress is quite a fine grain. The radiata really went furry after I painted it, which the cypress didnt do. If you could get some higher grade stuff it would be well worth using. My neighbor likes all the knots, which is just as well..

I would really like to make one out of ironbark, I reckon it would be stunning..
