[crw-talk] Mulberry table

[John & Donna Griffiths]

Wow, a 12 on a scale of 0-10.  Wonderful.
That brown paper thing is something I tried once with woodturning, long 
before I had the finishing knowledge I now have so did not work out.  
But I know  artists who do that folk art painted wood stuff with acrylic 
craft paints use brown paper as a final abrasive.  I think I will retry 
the brown paper technique.  John

>Taking a rest from turning, I finished 4 of these side tables the other day. A friend gave me a mulberry log of which I had cookie cut at an Amish sawmill located outside EauClaire. Dried for about 2 years.
>John Fisher used his drum sander to flatten them nicely. Poly finish and rubbed with brown paper after the last coat.
>Considered addressing the crack with a bow tie or fill but decided to just leave it. The 20” legs online acquired online.
>Fun project!
