Any woodworkers?

All me
not fine furniture but good for plants
What I like is the wood started as a dance floor had a second life in the family room and now a third life as a table in the same family room

 

Looks pretty good to me!

 

Nice bread boards. Can't go wrong with poly finish. Mix 50/50 of paint thinner and poly and wipe it on. Will need extra coats but easy to do. Search for wipe on poly.

 

That looks nice. I would do some research ion an epoxy finish for wet areas. Think about wooden boat finishes. It may take longer to dry but should last longer. Temperature when the coating is apply could be a major factor for durability.
See what @TK-422 did for his table on a previous post 2 pages back and what @wilcam47 had posted with a link for total boat.com.

Good luck

 

Marine spar varnish.
You can also cut spar varnish with tung oil. Gives it a little better penetration and doesn't look as much like plastic wrap when all is said and done.

 

That's a good looking table!

 

Waterlox for the table top if your wife is like mine and periodically puts in too much water, works good. Made a sign for the farm out of a slab and put 5-6 coats on using steel wool between coats, gives it a bar top finish.

 

Made some butter knives and scraper/spatula things

 

How you liking that bandsaw? Looks like you’re keeping busy with it!

 

So far so good, it good for little stuff, struggles a bit with big 3"x3" block but still decent

 

mine? Just a little Ryobi @$169

 

Thanks! Lots of sanding...i cut these abit thicker so i had more to sand...

 

Is this stinky?
I ask because the wife would not let me finish the table until summer if it is. She is intolerant of oil based finishes. Otherwise it looks to be perfect

 

Not sure how I missed this thread. But hey- here I am. Started into the woodworking thing about a year ago. Having a lot of fun, progressing and even making a few bucks doing it. Check out my FB/IG: facebook.com/stoakedwoodworking IG: StoakedWoodworking

 

Oof. I didn't realize the pictures would upload so ginormous. Sorry folks.

 

looks good! what woods you using?

 

If its similar to epoxy when its drying. it has a smell, its not bad like oil based paint/finish but it does have a smell.

 

Thanks! Mostly white/red oak, some maple and cedar thrown in for good measure. 99% of it has been "rescued" from work.

 

whats the spalted stuff 4th pic down? looks like a cutting board or table top?
