Tule peak, On your floors with hard wax finish how are they holding up? Is that the only thing you use or do you do some with poly?  Thanks

In heavy commercial use a light aqueous wax solution once a month during normal floor cleaning.In a home -once a year with the light waxing.Poly ( water or solvent ) is a whole different system......
  The flooring finish holds up very well.

First -- THANK YOU!

You guys and this site always amaze me, it's like Woodworking 101/201/301/etc....only more like ALL things wood...

One could earn a degree here, I'm certain of it!

The Danish was an experiment.  I was trying to see what would happen if I just added more and then some more...in short, a couple light coats appeared to give the same result as soaking it....and the end grain ensures it comes out the other side ;)

Haven't worked on the dyes yet as the wife had a honey do of a shelf she wanted...and I had some Melamine (hate working with that stuff) so....speaking of, I'll try to remember to show a shelf I made for her Christmas village.  It's like a puzzle as it comes apart and goes together without any hardware so that it can be assembled and then torn down before and after Christmas and stored flat in the shed until the next year ;)  Not quite finished but I'll show a pic or 3 somewhere (maybe there is a "not really woodworking but sorta since it is MDF/Melamine" thread... ;)

Dredging up an old thread here because I just realized no one knows what I did!!! (unless you saw the WoodMizers personal best I posted ;) )

Sadly, I can't find my recipe so I'll have to test it again but I believe it was TWO dashes of Keda Dye, Brown to 8oz of hot water.  And that table?  Ya, it became a bar in our new house!
