I made this table at the J.D. Lohr Woodworking School Advanced Joinery Class. It is black walnut and cherry. The finish is boiled linseed oil, followed by three coats of Waterlox.
HEY! I have that same table!!! Just finished Jeff's class 3 weeks ago! I hope to put the finish on this weekend.
How many coats of linseed oil did you use?
Nice Job BTW
We were in the same class. This is how I finished it:
One coat boiled linseed oil, then let it sit for one week
One coat Waterlox, let sit for 24 hours, then lightly buff with 0000 steel wool
One coat Waterlox, let sit for 24 hours, then buff with 0000 steel wool until surface is smooth to touch
One coat Waterlox, let sit for 24 hours, then buff with 4f pumice, followed by rottenstone.
Nightstand? Don't hide this in the bedroom unless, of course, you have a lot of people through there!
This is sweet. Elegant with simple, clean lines… excellect choice of woods and treatments.
Kudos!
