ok.. so an update on the old oak table...
now the frames are stripped of Lacquer and stain, and 1st coat of tung oil applied..

these will now be reassembled into the frame, and then have a 2nd coat of tung oil... then left another week or more to dry out... I still have to re store the tops so this will be done in between times..



 Mean while.... I am trying something else as a pastime , mainly because I am running out of room to put paintings, models etc.. hahaha but also it is omething I have never tried befor..  .. carving  ..  or 'sculpting '  haha..  so I am trying it with wax... as used for jewelry and small statue casting methods... 

 I used jumbo size wax crayons, cheap and easy to obtain with a variety of colors.. 

so not too bad really, pooh and friends and sponge-bop and his mate starfish.. color with acrylcs..
