Very nice. Just chuck a cushion on it. On the bottom of the cushion print a disclaimer.
Osmo oil FTW. Natural based hardwax/oil, easy to apply. Looks great.
These are going in the kids rooms so Mr 8 shouldn't have any problems for a few years yet, and a cushion kinda takes away from the look of it I reckon. Mind you at the rate Mrs buys the things I think I'll be able to find a few spares lying about, I'm sure she keeps the local Matt Blatt store buzzing along.Very nice. Just chuck a cushion on it.

Not sure I'm ready to give up the day job yet and I might need a catalogue containing more than a grand total of one item, I might look into doing some tables/desks, but what I'm doing is nothing new or original. In saying that a few of the guys here have seen the chairs and may have a few more projects, one of which is a kit-set dinosaur about 7' tall for his kid (not sure on that one though, I see a topple hazard when Mr 3 decides to ride it).Ready for market! If you had a portable workshop you could make them on site.

Cheers, I'll look into it. What's the best way to apply the stuff, wipe/brush/roller or spray?Don't be shocked when you see the price of Osmo but a small can goes a long way. Great stuff.
Flat surfaces I use a 4mm nap roller but just rag it on your application.These are going in the kids rooms so Mr 8 shouldn't have any problems for a few years yet, and a cushion kinda take away from the look of it I reckon.

The portable thing is a good idea, I recall seeing a episode of Grand Designs years ago where a guy had the same CNC router set up on tray of his truck, the sides folded down to give you work space around it but also acted as lifts to get substrates up to the bed. He was using it to create custom kitchens cabinetry onsite. It was a hell of a set up.

You just need more chairs.I may have already found it, the stuff you're talking about is Top Oil, I went out and bought a can of this which should do for a couple of chairs...it better, as you said up there ^ stuff ain't cheap.
Edit: Ok, so have given both chairs their first coat and have used about 20mm out of the top of the tin...I may have overcooked it with the 750mls option.
Might use it as an incentive to create a few desks, more surface area, less edges, I've got to say I'm really enjoying this.You just need more chairs.
Sounds ready to go full factory with this. You'll be set up at some tranquil Sunday markets in no time. Churning out chair after chair to the crowd of old folks with nothing better to do in their day than gawk at your craftsmanship. You'll be rich!Ok, so have given both chairs their first coat and have used about 20mm out of the top of the tin...I may have overcooked it with the 750mls option.
Looks cool....have to clear coat it but am worried the paint will streak...
Mrs uses this to seal her paintings and it works a treat. Found at those Eckersleys chain stores. Also doubles as a clear coat replacement to touch up frame too.Finished this recently, have to clear coat it but am worried the paint will streak.
Cool keezer top! How many taps on the font?Finished this recently, have to clear coat it but am worried the paint will streak.
