A neighbor friend asked if I could build him a table to surround his umbrella/stand. I had some african mahogany left over from a previous project and never having made outdoor furniture, gave it a go. Laminated legs and top with breadboard ends and mortise and tenon aprons.. draw bored.
Used Titebond III and finished with a mixture I saw on a video; turpentine, BLO, and melted canning wax. I was most concerned with the open grain left by the pole hole, so smeared epoxy on it. The friend doesn’t care if it grays over time. I’m anxious to see how it holds up in the sun, rain and snow.
