Clouds over Cae Du

Wednesday 24 November 2010

But have been a bit busy...renovating an old table of mine.



This is a piece I made in the final year of my degree. It's got badly stained, being originally finished in shellac sealer and natural bees wax; wet tins have left black rings on the oak, plus hot mugs, marker pen and deep scratches, shame.



Best option; scrape back to bare wood for the stains, and steam out the scratches with a damp cloth and iron. Then fine wire wool, cabinet scraper or sand paper and refinish with seal and wax.
