I learned something new about wipe on poly. Thanks Rennie.
Beautiful work as usual

Another yes Rennie. I was told the wipe on is two coats compared to one coat brush. On your last coat for the top mix some Naptha with it. It will flash off and dry very fast. Keeps the dust nibs down.
If you don't take pride in your work, life get's pretty boring.
Rule of thumb is if you don’t know what tool to buy next, then you probably don’t need it yet.

rennie i too agree with the extra coats, and not to be bearer of bad thoughts but your table will still darken from the sun just will take awhile but you will have been paid and many years later so your safe
was the top one piece or a glue up? looks good
and the legs will get alot of abuse as well from the cleaning ladies...so dont short them on coverage either down low at least..

The top is a three board glue up, but all three cut from the same 10' long board.

Nice looking table Rennie! What exactly are the defects in the cherry you were talking about as I fail to see them?

A few darker pockets, a very small knot here and there. Originally Posted by Alan Bienlein

Looking sweet, Rennie. I think the 'defects' add to the piece. Looks like real wood instead of Ikea wood.
