My father brought this back from his 18 month around the world voyage with Irving Johnson aboard 'Yankee' in 1938. They went many places rarely...
Great idea for the QA base James. . . creating a one piece lovely walnut top.
What's the recommended way to finish a burled walnut slab for use as a tabletop ? Sandpaper grit, type of oil, etc. ? What did the high end crafts...
I'm looking for methods besides 'Restore-a-Finish' to bring back the portions of my sun bleached walnut table base - possibly an old school Technic ?
