    Default Timber ageing gracefully

    Hello

    I was fossicking through some old photos and found a
    pic of a chess table i built in 1995. The case was made
    from sequoia or redwood boards recycled from wine
    barrel heads, I bought new kiln dried stock for the legs
    the contrast was quite evident

    The table was finished in organoil, and over the past
    14 years has had occasional treatment with organoil
    or a beeswax based furniture polish. As you can see
    the legs have aged to lessen the contrast. I gave it
    a touchup with U-Beaut wax before the pic i took today.

    The cedar top has lost it's striking colors unfortunately
    but overall i think the table's ageing quite gracefully.

    Cheers

    Someone will be along in a moment to tell you it needs sanding back.

    I know you believe you understand what you think I wrote, but I'm not sure you realize that what you just read is not what I meant.

    Lovely job. I think I would spend as much time running my fingers along the redwood as I would in figuring where to move the chess pieces. It would be a delight to play on that table even if, as a chess beginner, I got defeated all the time.
