The wood is black cherry, maple, and black cherry. Yes, that’s me singing behind the router. Yall didn’t know I dug hip hop, didja?
This is Bob, Black Orange Black, under three coats of epoxy designed for deep-pour tabletops, by a company that caters to finishing boats. I’m experimenting because I was reading about various finishing types and a lot of cue makers use finishing methods other than epoxy and CA glue. The biggest part of my interest is […]
