“It’s just a camper”, I have to constantly remind myself. “Save the maple and walnut for better projects.”
So to complete my dinette project, I made this table out of scrap wood. Scrap Larch pine and scrap Chinese plywood. (After sanding I discovered that the plywood’s thickness varied so greatly, the top ply had disappeared in areas and that only solid color deck stain would look halfway decent. I have since come to the conclusion that this SamLingUSA plywood is only good for firewood). The table was then given three coats of clear polyurethane for durability. Made that Larch grain really pop out!
Momma’s happy. Nothing else matters.

I always feel good when I resurrect an old piece of lumber.
You will spend some of your best times in that campe so why not deck her out.

Dadoo, that is the best shine I have seen on a table. I like it.

Hi Dadoo;
Mama’s happy, we’re happy!
We hate it when Mama’s not happy.
Nice job.

I wondered where you were…and you were workin’ it in the Dadoo Lab. Looks good.
I have to concur about the Big Box “birch” multi-ply. Mighty easy to sand through. Now I’ll be investigating the mysteries of milk paint for my step-stool/baby table project.
I left some offcuts on the deck in case the wife wanted them for plant supports. We had a brief shower and within 30 minutes they were de-laminating and twisting themselves into pretzel shapes.
