latest project

Just a completed a stool for kids to use at our church behind the pulpit. My own design, air-dried walnut top and apron with maple legs. Finished with 3 coats Danish oil, then waxed. Showed the natural wood color very nicely.

From design in sketchup...

to completion...
leg detail...



Involved a few errors that turned into "design considerations".

One thing I learned. I should have used pore filler I think on the open grain of the walnut. When I put the wax on, it settled in the pores and I couldn't get it all out, resulting in white flecks when looked at real close. No one but me has complained yet, but I think pore filler would have helped the final look. Live and learn.

Nice design!
I'm surprised nobody has suggested rubbing a little shoe polish over the wax. A little bit of brown or black will cover the white/tan wax, (that you are probably the only one who notices). If you don't have shoe polish crayons work also! With either shoe polish or crayons you'll have to polish it in
