95COFFEETABLES

This is a slideshow of 95 coffee tables out of the 500 plus,that i have made , I have been doing timber slab furniture since 1992,, I find a log , slab it up ,glut it out to dry for 1yr minimum per inch of board thickness and then make it into practical art pieces that will last into antiquity......
I only go for 'dead or rescued trees'..... I use mostly shellac (french polish) as a coating and then buff to a lustre with 'Bees-wax' polish, these pieces will last for hundereds of years with a coat of polish every now and then..... enjoy....

@copburner gooday there, mostly I coat indoor furniture in shellac, french polish, I mostly do 20coats , rubbed out in between , then steel wool (#0000) a few times , throughout, then polish with Bees-wax polish and , you have something long lasting and good,

These are wonderful. They are very pleasing to the eye and have a definite flow to them. The finish is superb. I may have to try this "French Polish" you speak of. It looks "Tres Bien"!! Great work, my friend. You should be proud.
