How to finsh this

[angellonewolf]

There's a few gaps round the edges

I've kept some sawdust glue and sawdust ? And in what mix ?

Or filler ? But I found I looks OK for the first 6 months but as the wood fads the filler does not

Is it a table top? Looks pretty good as is, couple of extra coats of varnish on the joints.

Danish oil.
Lots of thin coats.
Allow dry, buffing inbetween.
Wax on the legs.

Add the saw dust to a small pot.
Add the glue untill you have a smooth mix.

Poke well into the gaps, old feeler guages work very well for this. You have time as PVA wood glue takes a whille to set.

The finer the saw dust the better.

Well filled and a bit over filled. sprinkle the saw dust over, untill all the surplus glue is absorbed.

Letr dry, sand well.

Hi, Don't use metal to mix and apply use wood, like a lolly stick, the metal turns it black and makes it stand out.

the first pic is to far away round the middle square there is a slight gap like this all the way round

and its a top of a storage cupboard that i made a grave error on

bought it for £15 cheap you say (yes it was but with water marks and scraches on top)

so decided to sand it turns out the middle bit was just weatabix board with viner on

how i did not spot it i dont know prob in a rush so was waiting for a good bit of oak to come my way for pennys
so a few weeks alfter started on otherhalfs mum and dads kitchen replacment they where removing the old doors and they where oak so nicked 2 cut bisket jointed and cut again to get a close as fit as i can but there is still these slight gaps to get it totaly flat and smoth

im so deep in this in time i cant burger it up so asking the collective (resistance is futile) as 7 of 9 says

If you want too.

I bet you that they are not your legs.

they might be depending how often he waxes his legs

A friend of mine was the legs for Pretty Polly for three years. HE had to sign a NDA for some reason He said that the money was better then he was earning at the time, and he was at a fairly high level in local government.

If you plan on waxing, I'd be inclined to give it a couple of coats of sanding sealer, and rub down whist wet. Then a couple of coats of wax.

The shellac in the sanding sealer will mix with the dust and fill any small indiscretions. It won't be perfect, but doesn't look like filler.
