I don’t normally post my bread and butter work. However, after a recent posting of my Yellowwood table, some LJ friends were lamenting the fact that they only have access to Pine. Don’t feel alone, I work a lot with it too….
I finished this kitchen table today. It was built with selected construction grade Pine, stained with spirit stain, then sprayed with catalyzed lacquer. Enjoy that smooth top, soon it will be covered in dings and scratches….
This one is specifically for Dennis and Patron….Hi guys!

Dennis :^)))) Start collecting 4th grade Pine!
notottoman Thank you sir. Dunno. I get the order for a table so wide by so long and I make it. Subcontracting job for a kitchen installer.
swirt It would seem other people smell it better than me. Probably because my nostrils are permanently clogged with dust… BTW, are you ever NOT on the computer? ;^)

Hi Div, now if only I can get my pine to look that good, I would consider using it more often.
You mention using stain with spirit stain catalyzed lacquer. Could you be more specific about this
process as I would like to try that out. You also mention having dings and scratches, would a sealer not
perhaps prevent that? I am just asking I would never question your expertise.
I would be very happy it you could enlighten me.
The table, as is all you work, very grand.
Thanks for sharing Div.

wow. that looks really awesome (especially for pine!!) – any way you can (quickly) tell me your process of sanding (to get it that smooth) and how you stained/finished it…? thanks!! – i ask only because i’m a poor college kid, and usually have to work with pine – i can never get it to look that nice!!!
