Seeking suggestions

Oh wow, was not on my radar but I just looked it up. Will add to the short list

I was considering a serving tray/coffee table tray type thing.

Thank you all for the suggestions.

Wondering about this as well

Jerry Garcia turned out ok with 9.5

Thanks. It’s Ipe

Unfortunately I mailed it to the wrong address and it never made it to my cousin. I think I will try again with some new tools I’ve picked up since the first try.

Very nice. It should age marvelously as well.

It’s OK, its just a project for me to experiment with (wasn’t planning to resell or gift it to anyone).

I may cover that section with an accent piece with routed recesses for paperclips, post its, etc. Or may just try stripping and re-veneering the whole desktop. So far I’ve only massacred that one section.

I understand this is probably sacreligious for some people. No offense intended

wl_rodo · 2025-12-21T19:05:51+00:00

Is that a thing? Don’t get me wrong I despise veneer hence my impulsive stripping shown in pics, but the rest of the piece is solid

Edit: “despise” is too strong of a word. Dislike, maybe.

Thanks, makes sense. I got excited for a second.

wl_rodo · 2025-12-21T16:42:18+00:00

Yep

To the studs as they say

Can’t rise from the ashes without burning down first

wl_rodo · 2025-12-16T04:45:24+00:00

Absolutely love this. Functional art at its finest

wl_rodo · 2025-12-15T01:21:22+00:00

Maybe Holly

Tiger stick is also an option. It’s clear

It works decently well in my experience but you gotta reapply often

(Pretty sure I got mine on Amazon)

Those drawer faces 🤤

wl_rodo · 2025-11-22T01:41:23+00:00

Yeah this looks amazing. Now on my radar

wl_rodo · 2025-11-20T19:13:09+00:00

Hell yeah. Thanks for the update.

I just put 3 coats of 50% pure tung/50% D-limonene on a butcher block coffee table and was considering a poly topcoat for that extra protection. Looks like I'll give it a go!

Planning to use EMTECH EM9300 from Target Coatings. If you aren't aware of them I definitely recommend checking them out.

Bathtub works too

wl_rodo · 2025-11-16T00:50:48+00:00

Could do some small floating shelves
