3 coats on the underside, and legs and aprons, beautiful.
First coat on top, I got bubbles. I figure its because the wood grain is open, Im not sure, I didnt think I worked to fast.
Ill sand it out tomorrow with 400 grit on the orbital, and just keep applying coats till the bubbles dont show up anymore.
Then Ill hand sand with 600 grit a few coats.(someone told me maybe after I washed the brush in mineral spirits and then water, I didnt get all the water out of the brush and it leaked out, but I thought I shook it and let it dry good over night)
btw, 24 board feet of mahogany, most of the cut offs are good enough in size for me to use for the next project.
The only waste I had was when I couldnt get a good straight line and wasted around 4 board feet, and there was 1 bf that had a crack in it, so I think the project went well as far as board footage.
