Calico Bowl continued-finishing & Coffee table update

 Hi Everyone,

Well, the sanding is done and there is nothing left to do with the bowl except apply the finish. Here's today's photos:

Here's the bowl with a preliminary coat of salad bowl varnish. It has amberised the color a bit and I think that looks really nice:

I used General Finishes salad bowl finish for this project. I've used it in the past and it makes for a durable finish. And if the finish is damaged it's easy to fix it.

I'll put two more coats on it and then it's done. I'll post completion photos this weekend.

The Coffee Table

Ahem...I finished the table and triumphantly carried upstairs to the living room expecting another Selkie Wood Works victory. I set it down in front of the couch (which I'm building another one beginning in a week or two) and it was like someone had let all the air out of a balloon. It just fizzled out. It doesn't look at all good in the living room (it doesn't look good in general) so I'm going to re-think it for several days and probably re-do it. 

Sometimes these things don't work out. It's probably the wood fairies fault. Oh well, back to the drawing board.

Stay tuned,

VW
