One Step Closer on Table
This weekend I have been able to make very good progress on the table. This evening we will be moving it indoors for the final coat of stain/sealer. I started in the garage not knowing how the smell would be but it wasn't bad. I have put two coats on so far and plan to stop after three assuming it looks and feels the way I want. After the first coat it didn't feel like it sealed at all but I used a low grit sand paper in order to get a darker stain. So I think it wood just absorbed the stain. I ended up going with a a Polyshades Bombay Mahogany stain/sealer it was an all in one. So far applying it has been much easier than the post I read online. However the second coat was a little harder than the first, not sure what to expect out of the third. Its a much redder shade than the store or can show. But we are both really liking the color. Not the picture but both benches are done. I hope to be posting a fully completed with it set up in our kitchen picture tomorrow.
