Here is the table i've been working on for the past week. As soon as i can find someone to help me carry it of the cellar i'll post some "in action photos'
Herb that is beautiful!
Is it mahogany? The tile looks excellent, great choice! Looks like you really puts some thought into this, great job!
Now, make sure you get a cover for it so you get the most mileage out of that wood and the finish. Mine's mahogany and I used a sealer like Thompson's for the finish and even with a cover I need to touch it up once a year.
Man!! From a sawdust maker to a woodworker - that is mightyfine. Don't need Thompsons water seal with with 3 coats of polyurethane. For a custom cover I would go to an upholstery shop. A cheap alterantive may be going online to find a boat cover for say a 10-12' boat if something that small exist.
Broke down over the week-end and located a Radial Arm Saw on Craig's List. Mrs. Wolf says as long as some badly needed repairs to the Wolf Compound are made I can knock myself out with the Wolf Den and the Mobile Wolf Den.
I just hope I can do as good as a job as you did on your table.
Herb, that's fantastic! I just completed mine this weekend (pics pending). It was fun building it, but I'm glad it's done. Now I can spend all my time cooking. :laugh:
Like most BGE-ers, am thinking of one of these myself.
Maybe a slightly rude question, but what was your budget for that project? (Forgetting for a moment the standard craftsman rate of $75/hour for your labours.)
Herb-
Your good with the spar urethane, don't need anything more.
Just remember the finish won't last forever and that probably once a year will be good maintenance-at least for the top. Play it by ear.
As far as the cover goes, even if you throw a tarp over it temporarily it will help.
I like to leave stuff on my table (like a grill light and welders gloves) that I don't want to get wet. Which is another reason for a cover. Most of all though, the cover is worth it to protect your beautiful work.
