I have applied all of the coats of Waterlox that I intend to apply. I am satisfied with the surface as it is right now. Now I have to wait for the Waterlox to cure before I do the final rub out and then paste wax.
Usually this takes about a week or more for it to get a little harder. Some people wait a month.
I am not that patient. Oxygen is what cures the tung oil so I have a fan blowing near the pieces to help circulate the air. The finish is no longer tacky so dust is not a problem with the fan blowing.
So, this project is almost complete. I have the plans that I drew for the table and a couple of pictures I copied from books about the table with the knee carving pattern.
I have tried to post pdf's here in the past and I have not been able to figure it out. So, I you want a copy of the pdf's send me an email to dboeff@sbcglobal.net and I'll send them to you.
BTW I think this is a Goddard table even though I have called it a Townsend table all the way through. I am told that the way to tell is by the feet but I can not tell the difference.
Now I have to find a new project.
