The bases are coming out great. I was really worried about this aspect as I had little experience at "pretty" woodwork before this.
I think a few posts back I showed a big pile of parts that had been cut with my tablesaw.
Those parts were then glued together.
I then picked up a benchtop belt sander give all the faces a nicer finish that the tablesaw left it. I was super happy with how well it worked. Sanding apparently is the secret weapon of woodworking.
I then stained and sealed them with a gloss polyurethane sealer.
Then felt samples are cut and set in.
I think I like the dark red best. Classy and austere without looking like a pool table.
It's coming together! nicely.
