Finishing

We decided to try something new with this finish. When wandering around our local Home Depot (which happens A LOT) we came across a torch and of course decided we had to give it a shot. After we built this table we figured what better time to then now to torch some wood!

Since this was my first time torching something it was definitely a learn as you go process. One thing I learned was to make long even strokes across the surface (picture was before this lesson was learned).  This keeps the burn looking even across the entire piece and more natural. Second lesson I learned is that torching is AWESOME!

So to complete the finish on this table I stained over top of the torched wood with Rust-Oleum Summer Oak. Then topped that off with Rust-Oleum Triple Thick Polyurethane in a matte finish.
