Nice table BTW.

things sometimes stick out when a root is involved

Fantastic - what did you use to polish/laqure it?

I coat of shellac
3 coats of sanding sealer
3 coats of auto clear topcoat
(coz furniture lacquer was $90 per 4 litres locally)
Next time I get to Melbourne I'll pickup 20L of furniture lacquer which is easier to work than auto stuff

Nice looking table Bob

I had to Nick you Pic it is so nice looking

That's just amazing Bob . Real work of art. The difference that the finish makes to the timber is incredible . Luv it

Peter

great table Bob but is that the order you put the finish on? Shellac, then sealer ?

I think it looks fab BTW.

Thats the order I applied the finish.
Shellac for the golden glow. (I got used to using shellac years ago as a sealer over stains that are incompatible with lacqer.)
then
Lacquer based sanding sealer coz its lots easier to sand than shellac.

Nice work Bob, got any more pictures at different angles?
