    I am thinking of just using polyurethane and nothing else. The colour is perfect already I can't see what a stain will improve on nature.

    Thanks to an old post by lignum on making buttons
    https://www.woodworkforums.com/f11/ho...buttons-49571/

    I have completed attachment of the table top to the frame, worked out very nicely and Lignum's method was easy and very quick too.

    Final sanding of the top and legs next weekend and perhaps the first coat of wipe on poly as well. I have to epoxy up some holes in the top and one leg as well as I could not get a putty to match and wAnt a clear finish

    epoxy mixed with coffee grounds is a good filler

    If you have a coffee machine just use the spent grounds (after drying of course)

    If not ask for some at your closest coffee shop

    Default Finally finished!

    Well after procrastinating for almost a year , and starting and finishing many other projects for my Son and the house I finally got back to this one and completed it today, including 5 coats of wipe on poly.

    Well done on the completion of this one. Five coats of wipe on ploy in one day? That's incredible.
