getting back to an earlier blog, made a start on the fresco table today
yes the classic piece of shabby chic one (they'll rot in hell for their crime) by the look of the centre don't even think they knew it was an extending table, but anyway as you can see it’s in the right hands now
as you can see “yessss! we have grain” just the legs to clean up now, underneath the lovely magnolia silk emulsion I'm not sure if it’s mahogany or walnut but I’m getting there, the top is no questions asked teak! and as for finish i think silk to show the grain, witch means thinned varnish x 4 or 5 coats (flat with 600 paper after each) then polish, or should i try what some very old cabinet maker who toured India once told me about, one coat of linseed oil every day for thirty days, then dry for a week then flat and polish.
