Swampy's projects
« on: January 23, 2006, 08:38:55 pm »
I have been busy building coffee tables out of the cypress that we get out of the river.










They are not done yet but this will give you guys an idea what the wood looks like with a finish on it. I hope the pics are not to big. This is the first time for posting pics. ;) :o ;)

 Should be more bases at the camp, EH ??

  BTW guys, that's one of the first cuts we ever made on Homey. We were pushing the head by hand and cranking the head up by hand. NO controls whatsoever.  ::) ::) :D :D :D

One end was cut sguare and the customer wanted it to look like the rough end that Mother nature designed. So I did the best I could to match what the river took 80 years to do. I think it turned out just fine. ;) ;)

The finish is a satin urathane. But I will talk to the customer and try to talk them into a gloss finish. It shows off the grain better, and gives the wood some depth.

Swampers thats a nice top 8)

i tend to stay away from high gloss poly finish, as it can look a bit plasticy

satin is my norm, espech when you need more than a couple of coats to get the protection needed

get some more done and pics please

Here are the ends of the tables I made to look like mother nature did.




All done with a drill a grinder with a 4" disc and a jigsaw.  The finish is a satin finish and it looks like a high gloss. Thanks guys I do try my best at all projects. Ed
