    Default I finally get to post a project!

    After a lot of trials, I finally finished (and finished with finish) my first biggie project. This was a sign for the day camp where my wife works and my son plays. It was cut out of 2" oak, with 1 glue up. I sanded the surface with 320 grit sandpaper, applied three coats of Marine Teak Oil. Then I applied Martha Stewart Metallic Paint (Antique Gold color) and then sealed with eight coats of spray poly (eight so far). Really happy with how it came out.

    First picture is unfinished...
