Nice tables! I’ve always been a fan of tung oil as well.

great looking tables … never heard of using lye. how does it work ?

-- work from your heart and your spirit will live forever

Thanks guys.

Lye is old school and controversial because it’s cheating and, well …, its lye. Don’t drink it or get it in your eyes. Use rubber gloves and do it outdoors. First raise the grain and de-nib with plain water. Dilute the lye with water and wipe it on and then off. It is amazing how it will make cherry ‘age’ instantly. The effect is a thin layer of aged cherry. When dry very lightly sand off the nibs and finish.

Don’t know if I should recommend it, but I did it (years ago), and it looks fantastic.

Thanks for the lye tip, too.

I like the simple, clean lines. A really nice piece of furniture. Beautiful hand work.
