    Ive got a large redgum slab coffee table, made it before I knew anything and found this site. However we lost some good friends as they still dont beleive the frogs imbedded in the resin holes arent real but from a discony shop.

    I ran into a couple selling these at a local jamboree. They were beautiful and I asked what they used as a finish. They sprayed on catalized laquer. Looked fantastic and coated the bark too.
    When all is said and done, there is usually a whole lot more said than done.

    Quote From Neil
    You can however get a look on the table as though it is satin or even almost mat when viewed from above. Yet when you view it from a distance or from sitting in your lounge chair, it will reflect everything in the room in the top.

    Not hard to do and in all honesty looks a great deal better, cleaner, brighter and classier than a plain satin or oiled finish. Not only would it look fantastic but it would have an absolutely amazing, almost sensual , silky soft, feel to the finish.
    How is this done?
