Sigh. After looking at this thing for a couple weeks, I've decided I'm gonna have to work on the top a bit more. I got the lacquer on there pretty heavy, and it 'shows'. I've worked a lacquered tabletop 'flat' once before, and it was a miserable experience. Beautiful result, but a lot like work. I'll be glad I did it when it's over, but it's sho'nuff hard to start!
Anyhoo, probably tomorrow I'll start on that, after final assembly of the second chair. I still haven't decided whether I want six chairs, or four chairs, or two chairs and two benches (which was the original plan). Well, actually I have decided...three or four times...I just keep changing my mind. So I only made two to begin with...and I'll look at them actually sitting at the table and go from there.
