Rethinking Oak
More often than not, when I come to a quick "judgment" of - well - almost anything, it's usually inaccurate. Whether it's politics, people, food, design - coming to early judgements and conclusions seem only to be mind limiting for me. I don't particularly like peanuts, but I certainly have enjoyed wonderful spring rolls dipped in a peanut sauce. I've been rethinking oak lately. I think oak has a bad rap. Will be back to discuss soon. Gotta go for now.
Modern oak desk with "flowing creek" grain pattern

almost there
I've had this one in the back of my mind for the last couple of years. Sanded it down nice and smooth this morning, and it's first coat of tung oil is drying. Hopefully I'll have some completed pics by the weekend.
