Been gone for a few days visiting my daughter and grandkids, and have not had any shop time. Prior to leaving, I had completed the faceted portions of the legs.
Today, after a bunch of honeydo catchup, I decided to sand out the legs, apply a coat of BLO, and shellac.
This probably ain't much to you guys, but this is big time stuff for me!! My first semi-finished pieces!! Finishing on the lathe is sweeeeeet!
I sanded to 400, and 000 steel wool before BLO/shellac. The plan on this table is to prefinish all parts with at least to a couple of coats of dewaxed shellac. Then, after assembly, I will probably go with Waterlox.
BTW, the legs really are straight. Seems I got a bunch of distortion from the camera.
