Tallowood Slab Dining Table
Here's a thread for my Tallowood slab dining table, milled by my dad and I 3 years ago. The legs and rails have been planed and as of this morning, the top has been planed and are ready for building/finishing. Fingers crossed the link works, the pics are attached.
Not the best pics, but i'm sure i'll get a couple good ones once i start finishing and building.

Looks great Gordo but the top doesn't look like Tallowwood to me, looks more like Spotted Gum. Tallowwood is usually a yellowish colour.

The first pic looks yellowish while the third is much darker .Lighting/camera effects. and the legs are yellowish.

wow, so many questions regarding the sanding/finishing? and probably some real dumb ones, here goes:
1. how wet do you make it when you "wet" the slab to raise the fibres
2. sanding sealer????
3. "marine grade, heat resistant polyurethane"?????
4. it's be through a thickneser (planned), so what grade sand paper do i start at?
