I think your table looks very nice, and I'm sure you know the Wabi Sabi philosophy...so embrace the imperfections. That said, I must say I HATE sanding and refinishing! I've never actually finished a refinishing project. Paint is the way to go if you hate sand in your snout and sore forearms, and stinky chemicals! FYI, I'm not Italian; just love the food! Please, please, post some of your mom's recipes!Deborahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12002468510668438210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1170972260275595837.post-58975408450570033132012-07-24T16:31:21.285-07:002012-07-24T16:31:21.285-07:00You're killin' me with those skies! What a...You're killin' me with those skies! What a gift to have first thing in the morning...lucky you to have pumpkins. It's not warm enough this year here so I'm glad I didn't plant any. I think your table looks great but I know all too well the trouble with staining! It's quite rewarding though to know you've put so much effort into something you'll use everyday.

I have same type of table only oak finish here for my laptop, heat from my laptop has made the wood crack, keep thinking one of these days I will fill with wood dough and stain top darker, but that's another project.......<br /><br />I have a sheep fleece that I had made into batting ... to felt into slippers, another project, waiting to be done ........<br /><br />Then there are the 12 fleeces I need to finish skirting and send to processor, another project .....<br /><br />And then there was the soap making class I took, bought all the supplies I need, boxed up and put away last year when I had company, now still in the box, another unfinished project ...........<br /> <br />Somehow everyday life gets in the way of my projects ..........Tombstone Livestockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07022776395762826903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1170972260275595837.post-2663290730112347952012-07-24T07:23:53.711-07:002012-07-24T07:23:53.711-07:00Staining is not so easy with Minwax - they SAY it ...Staining is not so easy with Minwax - they SAY it is, but really, not so much. I found some stain that is a 'gel', and that works so much better. It is what I used on my new kitchen cupboard doors when the Hubbs them in efforts to help revamp without completely replacing. Ya just have to make sure all of the glue is removed where you plan to stain is all, and a nice clear coat afterwards finishes it off!Chicken Wranglerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02450508078538561597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1170972260275595837.post-68862474819996228692012-07-24T03:31:15.362-07:002012-07-24T03:31:15.362-07:00Oh, I envy your beautiful pumpkins with those lush...Oh, I envy your beautiful pumpkins with those lush green leaves.
