The base and the top create a beautiful combination. It’s a very nice eye catcher.

My grandfather was a tailor, and I can remember playing with his Singer … when he wasn’t watching.

That looks great and you really made the grain pop. . . . . WOW! I don’t know why but the pictures in the other post made this look like it was a quarter the size it is which makes it look all the more impressive. What grit did you sand it down to before finishing?

Thanks for all the replies gang.

Yeti – it was sanded to 150 before the dye then to 220 once the dye was dry to knock back the color to where i wanted it.

Damn Stef, that’s a gorgeous little slab! Why didn’t you smooth it with a hand plane? Long time no talk, now gimme sum of dat wood!

Looks wonderful Stef. But you know, if you hook a little generator up to that flywheel, plug it into the outlet behind, and make your kid pump the treadle, you could cut your monthly power bill in half.
