I think that was when I was on that bees wax finish kick

yep

Hair of the Carp

Looks like it turned out nice, generally lithos only need 1 pass if you are looking to save some time

Another one out of padauk, one of the largest I have done [17x12"], probably about as close to a table that I will ever get. Not perfect, at least 4 noticeable flaws - Took about 6 hrs finish used a 1/32 tbn, very thick so I used a roughing pass as well. Padauk dust tends to be pretty nasty, trashes...

Nothing fancy for me, I just use 3 wood blocks wedged against the sides and screwed down, then I improvised some screws with hooks to make sure there is no lifting

Wow, I forgot I went off like that.

Absolutely need another plank of YH, will probably have to wait until the kung flu passes, nothing is open.

Hey you made them sideways !
Just kidding, nice work I like em !

Didn't know what I was going to make but I knew I wanted to make something, so I decided to use up the last of my yellowheart stock to make these.
One that says Raven is for a friend of mines little girl [I better make sure to give her the right one !]
