But I do think about hanging a sign out front and getting serious going for only historic work. I have a name thought up already, "The Old Home Folks".

I bought that wood as planed 4-side 1" stock. I used biscuits and glue to make sections. Once sections were assembled I used casting resin in knots, nail holes, joints, anywhere with a gap or seam. By the time I belt sanded that down I had a nice plane across the top. I put the two sections at that inside corner together in place, resin, put up a dust barrier, fan in the window and sanded away. The finish is polyurethane, satin Helmsman. That's what I used on my butcher block counters I did years years ago. But I did another kitchen counter top since then and used Waterlox. She wanted poly in her kitchen, but that's what I like best these days.

Thank you for the information. It looks very nice and the Herringbone joint in the corner is great. Not many people these days would put the extra effort into doing it that way.
