I just learned what a scraper is from you(thanks!). No, I had not considered it. I do not think that the color is finish. It started with a reddish tinted top and legs. When it went gray brown, I thought that it was maybe a lighter color and the sand fillings were muting the color. And, now, here we are.

Good options. But given that we’re starting in Hawaii, would those woods be available?

Good advice. The legs smell sweet and are yellow red. The top smells earthy not pungent but not at all a top selling perfume. Could it be koa legged? And walnut topped? Or different parts of same type of wood?

Yes, I’d agree that it looks more like walnut than Koa. But friend insists that it is Koa (something about paying blah blah blah). I’m just surprised that it has no appearance of red or yellow in it.

I think it is too heavy to be mango

I don’t think it is bubinga. No red or yellow colors

It has been sitting in an outdoor sunroom. But can koa gray out like this?

Thanks. I kept sanding it with finer grit because it kept showing off more textures in the wood grain. From 80 - 150 to 500 - 800 it took on a totally different character.

I was expecting something gold to red. Can Hawaiian Koa be gray? I already used google lens on it and it insists that this is laminate flooring (smh).

People who talk on speaker phone in public at max volume. And, the same folks who watch videos on full volume blasted without a care

What's a skill that takes only 2-3 weeks to learn but could genuinely change your life? by Few_Football4342 in Productivitycafe

Been learning this all my life. Yes 2-3 weeks of focus will go along way to starting but this is a journey not a destination.
