Well, almost done!
Today I applied the 1st coat of the beeswax and BLO finish to the bench. I heated it in a double boiler until the wax was all melted and then applied it with a foam brush. I think I am going to be pleased with the results. I think I will put 1 or 2 more coats on the top, but the leg assembly and shelf are done with one. Here are a few pictures.
The first 2 are of the bowtie inlay I did to patch a flaw in the top. The last one is meant to show the color difference after applying the finish.
I can't wait to start using it!!!!!!
