Getting Close
The holes with the arrows will be used on the bottom. These will go
through the base and into the bearing.

I'll be using some Polyurethane semi-gloss
on this project. This water based product works very well, but it's thin
so you have to be careful while you're applying it.

Here's something I didn't expect, the clear finish went
through my four screw holes and dried to my Bench Cookies. I had a hard
time separating the two from each other and as you can see, it left some
rubber on my projects surface.
|
|
Here is a close-up of the mess I made. I used some sandpaper to remove
all the rubber which was quick and easy. I told you the clear finish was
thin....

|
It's Finished
Here it is all finished. I put three coats of clear on the top.
|
|
It's easy to lift and move around with those rounded edges.
|
|
Staring from the outside there is Sapele, Curly Maple, Alder, Black
Walnut, Goncalo Alves, or Tigerwood, Cherry, Curly Maple and the center
is Sapele. |
|
Here you can see the screws that holds the base on. And you can see my
brand as well.
|
|
The finish came out pretty nice.
|
|
I hope you like it dad because I had fun making it.
