You have to machine polish it.

I have a few ideas for my version of the Eames/Herman Millar surfboard coffee table.

One of them uses epoxy resin on the top. I also want it on the exposed edges too, but it didn't...

Hello everyone.

I made some 1" thick solid maple stair treads with a 3/8" round over on the front.

What is the best way to attach them to the stairs? Construction adhesive or expansion slits...
