Hi all, just thought I'd share my most recent project, a cherry coffee table for my daughter.
Cherry wood was sitting in my grandpa's old antique shop, he cut the tree down 40 years ago, hopefully I made him proud with my use of it.
First project using my Festool Domino. Didn't take me long to stop debating on whether the cost was worth it or not. The ease of use and accuracy went beyond even the high expectations I had for the price, and I would say I still have a lot to learn about it's functions.
Also my first project using Waterlox Original, great stuff, I really like how it turned out.
Question though - I would apply three wipe on coats, then lightly sand, I kept getting scratches on the finish. I was using regular 320 grit sand paper, I also tried very fine steel wool on another part once I saw the scratches the sandpaper would make. What do you think I may have been doing wrong? Should I have been using wet/dry paper with mineral spirits?
Thanks for looking, your comments and constructive criticism is always welcome.
