It might get another layer of clearcoat, but it’s not dry yet, so I’m not sure. I got semi-gloss latex because I’m sick and not up to dealing with oil paint fumes, and it’s not as if this table is going to get manhandled anyway. I took a sample and had Buchheit match the colour of the trim in the house; I got 2g because I’m also going to use this for the kitchen table and chairs. Anyway, I finished the top last weekend, but decided to run over it with some fine sandpaper. I wanted texture, but not quite as much as it had. A quick sanding with 150 and 220, and it’s perfect. I’m really giving some serious thought to refinishing the kitchen table top instead of making a new one. I dunno…it needs to be scratch-resistant, but it won’t get the wear and tear of a kitchen countertop. I’ll look into finishes and see what’s available. For now, though, here’s my stone-topped table; formerly a 70s-era end table with a crappy laminate top.

Here’s the finished top in sunlight, which is basically how it looks in the room because of all those big windows.
