Big brother is always listening.

Sanded to 150 and gave it two coats of Rubio Monocoat. It was still too dull so I buffed it back with a red Scotch-Brite had and hit it with the refinishing oil, followed by like six coats of generic automotive ceramic coating.

I am starting off the new year by using my discount second hand tools to try and cobble together a nice birthday present for my wife. Materials include water damaged maple, warped walnut, and spider-infested purple heart. Wish me luck.

This small red Japanese maple is barely hanging on to it's late fall foliage.

This tree has been 3 years in training and it's about 8 years old total. It was created from nursery stock intended as a landscape plant. I'd started by chopping it in half and then splitting the trunk with the help of a friend who taught me how to use raffia.

There is a lot more checking than I realized, and I'm afraid filling these gaps by just pouring in epoxy will be difficult. I want to keep the live edge and avoid making a complete deep pour epoxy mold. Some of these gaps go all the way through The 2-in slab. Any tips for me?
