Finish

I put a coat of oil on the table top today. I couldn't bring myself to sanding and removing the chatter marks on the table top left by the scraper. My son did the hard work of scraping the top level.

The marks are now part of the history of the table.

I love how the old finish and the oil blended together to create a fantastic color/patina. The boards are poplar. I think I'll eventually paint the base white, which will be a nice contrast to the caramel colored top. I'll give the top a day to dry completely from the oil and then buff in a thin coat of wax.

I'll be making a e top chest for the next episode.

As always - Thanks for following
Be safe and be creative
