Workbench Complete but waiting for finish
just completed my new workbench and I thingk that it turned out
pretty good. You can see it he http://www.arealnice.com/shop/ Sweet! I have a very similar bench (traditional maple monter) I used a 3:2:2 mix of OB Poly, BLO and thiner ... 3 coats then paste wax. I have been pleased. Simple, cheap, stuff was on-hand. I was looking for a compromise of protection but without much build. I suppose a wip-on poly would get me to about the same place. The wax is top repel glue or finish drips. some folks prefer a not so slippy top. Personally I think benefits outweigh the downside. YMMV. FWIW, I releveled the top after 3 years a few months back. I applied the same finish. -Steve |
