pedestal
hi all just thought i would post these few pics of the pedestal i just completed.got the plans from woodsmith/time life book.it was a pain in the ass making it in imperial.i would definitely go metric on anything else i may make from the books.timber is qld maple.top is a loose insertmade up of cedar frame,poplar,qld maple & swiss pearmake up the parquetry (dont look at that too closely).finished it with first 3 coats were 2 part satinproof,2 part tung oil 1 part turps,& some boiled linseed oil.after 3 coats looked crap, so dull. so last 2 coats were 3 parts satinproof 1 part tung oil & just a little turps to thin it out.am not sure if i like it though.:confused: all i gotta do now is find somewhere to put it.

looks good.
I've got the same books but am thinking that before I attempt to make anything from them that I will convert the imperial measurements to metric.you never stop learning, till the day they shovel dirt on your face
