Turns out table sanding (saw dust) residue is just a little bit easier to clean up then sheet rock dust ... I am very satisfied with the results so far ... that's a good feeling ... to get to the end of a day with a soft smile on one's face, looking forward to coffee time at the old "new" table.
Was also able to spend a couple of hours at the pottery studio today ... I have several pretty nice pieces in the process ... two big bowls ... large pieces are what I prefer to build. I like working with clay quite a bit.
The table looks great, better then that, it feels great. I finished it with what is sold as a tung oil finish ... I don't know precisely what it is, some combination of oil and lacquer, a rubbing varnish. Not sure how this will wear ... I may wind up waxing it or maybe applying a poly shield ... for now we are enjoying the organic feel of it. I really hope I can find a livable "deal" on those chairs ... that would be nice.
I like the idea of walking in to this room tomorrow morning and seeing this done. I think I am getting ready to do something very Southern ... I think I am going to have a table runner monogramed ... hmmm ... which font ... H might clue me in ... she's probably gonna say there is
only one.
