This is the last piece of 3 slabs that PMB gifted me 3 years ago. Its 72" x 13" x 1.5" This one is for my sister. She has an old wrought iron Singer stand for it. Stand width is 11.5" Bare wood after 80/150/220 sanding and first coat of Old Masters tung oil varnish. I used OM on several other pieces and they turned out great. Here is one project I finished for our MT home--> viewtopic.php?f=148&t=94891&hilit=woodI put about 6-7 coats on.

That's looking really good Brian! That OM really brings out the grain.

"Signed, sealed delivered I'm yours"
Delivered the final product after 1500 mile trip to my sister's house.
She's got a craft room, where the wood has landed. Shown also is the woods host, a Wilson sewing machine base made in Conn, more rare base than Singer.

Thanks John!
Steve, yes, she was very thankful.
She has made us 3 quilts for Laura and I and our sons. So is was payback time...this was all possible by a PMB PIF 3 years ago, and Delliot delivery.
