Can't remember if I have posted the pics of these tables or not, but they are now finished with 7 coats of poly over hand rubbed BLO.

Then I got busy on some cutting boards to take to Canton. I am going to start selling these over the web soon and maybe even on Saturdays here in Terrell. I really enjoy making these. This time out I used Paduak, Cherry, Hard Maple, Bubinga and Walnut in several patterns...

very nice kelly

i really like the different edges of the cutting boards and the different shapes. i usually only see square or rectangle ones.

the tables are quite nice as well.

good luck selling those boards

Outstanding tables and boards and finishing that is worthy of the tables and boards, Kelly. :)

They serve to remind me how much I need to improve my finishing skills. :o

Kelly,
Being new to woodworking, can you tell me what kinds of wood you used for bothe the top and legs ? Also like I said being new, what does BLO mean ?

Thanks, Bill:confused:

Very Nice, Kelly, both the tables AND the cutting boards. I know the table bases are cedar, but not sure what the tops are? Beautiful finish too.

I'm guessing the tops are Mesquite....thought I been wrong before!
Great work!

Kelly,
Very nice - cutting boards should sell well. What finish did you use on the boards and did you have any problem with the paduak bleeding into the neighboring woods? Dave

I'm a little jealous Kelly! I haven't hardly been out to the shop since the season got started.

I hope Canton goes well for you this month. We might make it out on Sunday, depending on what time I finish meetings that morning.

I didn't know you were going to do some cutting boards. Do ya think Ipe would be good in the mix. I still have most of what I got from you. Minus a few pens, that is. You're welcome to it any time you need it.
