re: 50 years old, and still hanging around. Not me; one of my projects!

Very nice! I was looking for a little bookcase table I made when I was about 20 and couldn’t remember what happened to it. My wife has it on the other side of her night-stand. It was my first experience with Minwax Tung Oil (Wipe-on Poly probably). The fact that I didn’t need a brush was great! It smelled good and I was hooked. At 52, I got hooked on homemade shellac from coins I purchased from Shellac Shack.
