Little Work in the shop

[nytrapper23]

well I warmed up the garage this am . Have a little turkey fan display I'm going to do and made a couple female mink boards out of some scrap pine while I was working.


Started with some oak pallet slats.

Planed them down.

Used the joiner on the sides.


Cut to length.

Butted together and glued and clamped.thats it for today,will continue later.

Back in the shop today,got the pieces edges routed , all sanded. Dadoed the back and back piece,glued and screwed the back on. Will let it dry for a day ,then a few coats of polyurethane.

[SkFarm25]

[nytrapper23]

One coat of polyurethane,probably put atleast two more on , really pulls the grain out nice.

[nytrapper23]

Put the last coat of polyurethane on today,also mounted the arced plaque on,just need to dry then will finish up with the beard ,Spurs and a couple other extras.

[hogkiller]

Don't forget you'll need my addy to send that to Wade,,just sayin'. lol

[nytrapper23]

[nytrapper23]

Well I started another project today,my wife bought this at a yard sale for $40. This is the only pic I have of before,it's behind the ss table.

Here's the top before sanding.


The top after sanding.


The legs and two leafs all sanded.

Im going to put it back together, the top is gaing to be a dark finish,the bottom and legs are going to be white then stressed to make them look old. It took me 6 hrs to get everything sanded.

Couple of close ups of the beard and feet with Spurs.

Nice. When you make the gathering, I may be sending home with you some 100 year old oak beams. Half of it for you, and the other half to make me something cool

[nytrapper23]

Sounds good to me,just don't get to fancy on me.

[hoseromon]

Looks great !

[thedeerfarm]

fine job on your wood projects

[nytrapper23]

So I started finishing the table today,it's going to take some time,but I will try and take you thru it,the pics above is when I started. The next pic is the top, I use a stain conditioner on these type of projects , the conditioner absorbs into the wood , this kinda evens out the grain , with this step your finish takes on a nice even look with out the dark and light spots caused by stains on the wood. You can see the darker area is where I put conditioner on it the light is without.
This pic is with the stain on, I let it sit for sometime and didn't really wipe any off because I want the darker look,I just evened it out.
This is one of two extension leafs.
These are the legs,you can see the ones in the back before painting,I'm painting them white then will tone it down a little with the same stain , then distress then to make them appear old.

Tomorrow I will try and get the legs on and standing up to get a better picture.

[nytrapper23]

Got the table back together.

Here is the table with the two extensions and half polyurethaned , it's almost 9' with the extensions.[/URL

One full coat,probably do atleast four more.

[rendezvous]

One heck of a table!
