Re: My Commissioned Conference Table build...
been there before Ramon, although they have a nice variety like Spanish Cedar, Mahogany and Dao, the prices they have are very high considering their stuff is very rough and air dried only...

Re: My Commissioned Conference Table build...
sanded the top then some hand plane work and sanded with 80 grit then sanded with 120 grit, after which I stained it.
all was ok until I noticed under the light that some portion took stain more than some parts.
after giving it four hours to dry a bit I used a scrubbing pad and spread the stain evenly, I am very pleased with the result so far and the portion with less stain will be evened out once a primary finish is applied and glazed... bukas naman yun.
