Copy away I'll love to see your version.<br /><br />I do not normally use Waterlux for that and other reasons, mostly because it is a several day process to get to final finish and it doesn't really look like an oil finish. It gets close, closer than anything else I've found that offers good protection. I used it on my bath vanity 5 or 6 years ago and the vanity's top still looks good and all I've done is wipe it down after use which I would do whatever the top was made of.<br /><br />I hope the table top fairs as well.<br /><br />kenI'm a OK guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11843155822153452980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12079088.post-41752908520201618332020-06-05T12:31:36.524-07:002020-06-05T12:31:36.524-07:00That is a beautiful table and one I might copy if ...That is a beautiful table and one I might copy if you don't mind.

Another day, maybe two and I'll call finished. <br /><br />It is still early and anything not in the shade is already too hot to touch. If trends continue, in a few years the AZ deserts will be too hot to sustain life during the summer. <br /><br />I know how to live in the desert and still a couple of days ago I had a mild case of heat exhaustion because I continued to work after noon. <br /><br />kenI'm a OK guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11843155822153452980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12079088.post-84064691303453515162020-06-04T11:46:41.774-07:002020-06-04T11:46:41.774-07:00Lionel,
