Bubinga Bowl

For two years this piece of Bubinga has been sitting around after I received it as a Christmas gift from my youngest daughter. Only two inches thick, I kept wondering what to do with it so finally I decided on a shallow bowl. Wow, I like Bubinga's grain...

BCT22 - Countertop with High Gloss Finish

The final coat of Rockhard Tabletop Varnish with its high gloss look. While it looks great, the surface was contaminated with small bits of hardened varnish from a less-than-clean brush. And the customer decided they wanted a satin finish versus this high gloss.

BCT24 - Satin Finish Top

The client wanted the varnish rubbed out to a Satin Finish -- three hours of careful sanding to remove the "nits" with 320 grit followed by 400, 600 and then 800 grit. Compare with BCT

BCT18 - Moment of Truth!

My key issue was getting the 3 angle supports at the right height and coplanar with each other and the top of the stub wall (it was -- thanks to carefull use of a 4' level when installing the vertical members!). Less than 1/16" error which was taken up with a bed of clear silicone caulk on...
