OLSEN’S CHINESE ELM BENCH
Feb 11, 2016
THIS PIECE WAS MADE TO WORK WITH A RUSTIC BEDROOM SET FOR A LAKE TAHOE CABIN.
I MADE IT FROM A CHINESE ELM LOG I MILLED 3 YEARS AGO. THE WENGE INLAY WAS ONLY INTENDED FOR THE TOP TO MINIMIZE SOME CHECKING THAT HAPPENED DURING THE DRYING PROCESS, BUT I DECIDED THAT I WANTED THE WHOLE PIECE TO HAVE THE AFFECT THAT IS WAS SLICED IN HALF AND GLUED BACK TOGETHER.
I FINISHED IT WITH 3 COATS OF MINWAX POLYURETHANE. HAND RUBBED BETWEEN COATS. THE TOP COAT WAS RUBBED OUT WITH MOHAWK FLAT LUBE AND POLISHED WITH PASTE WAX.
