The Finish



I put one coat of LandArk's Concentrated Finish Oil on. It really darkened the darks and brightened the greens and yellows. The finish has citrus oil, linseed oil, tung oil, and beeswax as main ingredients. After 24 hours, it was still oily to the touch, so I buffed, sanded, and let it sit for one more day to see if it will dry better.







Semblance of a Table



I'm missing a few photos of clamping two sides together and then all four sides together, but here it is, four sides, all together- almost a table! I just need to cut and fit the top. Here are some photos of how the table (minus its top) will fit and store together with the LACK table. It actually fits!!



I cut a dado on the inside of each side panel. This is where my z-clips will sit to join the top together. This way, I won't have to glue the top down and the clips will allow for the wood to move as it likes.





Sides


Clamping the side panels together...my mider cuts were not perfect- so many 90 degree angles! - but it will hopefully look OK when it's all put together.
