Everything is prepped and ready for finishing. The leg units are sanded to=
220 grit. The trestle board and table top are sanded to 320 grit. The =
underside of the table top is sanded to 220 grit.
In the third pic, foreground right, you can barely see a defect/blemish in =
the wood, where a fork/limb remnant was. I filled the (holes) areas with =
blackened epoxy and the black coloring shows fairly prominently. I kinna d=
on't like this black, but it's not too too unsightly. However, I might dig =
out this black epoxy and refill it with brown epoxy.
There were a few other small holes/defects in the surface and I filled thos=
e with epoxy colored with dark walnut Transtint dye. For a 1 oz volume of=
West System's 650-8 epoxy mix, I used about *1/4 (or less) drop of Transti=
nt dye and the color was perfect. *I placed a drop of Transtint dye to th=
e side and dipped my stir stick into the drop and whatever collected on the=
tip of the stir stick was the amount of dye used for the coloring.
The two toned look of the table top (3rd & 4th pics) is because I wiped/wet=
the surface with mineral spirits and some areas are more wet than others.
