Thanks Mike ... I'm fairly confident that after spray finishing with amber shellac the finish will look even better, and hopefully photograph better. All these photos were taken with Apple devices. I don't know if that is a factor, but, and despite being colorblind, I'm certain that they do not really represent the finish appearance that you see in person ... there is a washed out, lighter look in the photos than what you see in person, which is richer and warmer looking, even without the final topcoat. -- www.eWoodShop.com Last update: 4/15/2010 KarlCaillouet@ (the obvious) http://gplus.to/eWoodShop |

This sofa table, which I've been wanting to build for myself for a long time, was no exception ... I've been in the midst of three remodel jobs, as well as a small custom cabinet job, since starting this sofa table project just a month ago.

LOL. Looks Great. Thanks ... Compared to two HUGE custom desk jobs in 10 months, this thing is an absolute pleasure to move around.  I get one of the girls to help me move the piddling sofa table in and out of the shop, not because it's heavy, but only because it seriously lessens the chance of me banging it into the random cast iron tool doing it solo.

I've used Waterlox, and like it, but my favorite finish for my own furniture is still shellac, sprayed on, because I can get it done much quicker. Given the times to mask/prep/clean the gun, the times are pretty much the same. Butcha get to fondle the wood the whole time when you hand rub a finish on. That table wouldn't take 10 minutes a coat to do, and 3 or 4 coats would do it nicely. I tend to cut corners a bit when building for my own consumption, mainly because I fell compelled to focus my time and energy on current, ongoing projects, both shop and construction, that other folks are paying me good money to do. Ditto, but not when it comes to (re)finishing. AFAIC, the finish makes or breaks the product. This sofa table, which I've been wanting to build for myself for a long time, was no exception ... I've been in the midst of three remodel jobs, as well as a small custom cabinet job, since starting this sofa table project just a month ago. Wow! That's a workload. I've been really busy, too, but the rains are going to be starting this weekend, maybe as early as tomorrow. Once that happens, 90% of my handyman biz stops abruptly. And since I don't fix roof leaks, I'm spared that joy. I hope to start to learn my new Green Monster (CNC router) soonest. It may be a steep climb to the knee. And both time, and energy, seem to be running out faster these days. ;0 I hear that. The scary thing is that I'm not even 60 yet... -- Energy and persistence alter all things. --Benjamin Franklin |
