You did a great job. I'm sure it was more than a "little" elbow grease. Love the end result. Do you find that the water based varnish is enough protection for outdoors? I'd love this for my deck. But I'm terrible at bringing things in in fowl weather. No room.
So inspiring!! I love the table!!
Gorgeous. How did you transfer the graphic?
@Irene, Thanks for the nice comment. The sealer is made by the manufacturer available in both indoor / outdoor use. Lately i only use the outdoor one. I apply 3 layers, but since it dries quickly the waiting time is cut by a third of normal varnishing processes. Huge plus i wash my brushes with water and soap, no harmful cleaning chemicals.
@Crystal - thanks :-)
@Cori
I used inkjet printer, split graphic over 10 A4 pages and printed on transparancy film for copier. Then transfer page by page to table, brandishing with a wooden dowl. I then use a fine point and fine flat artist paint brush and black acrylic paint to enhance as i see fit.
I have a pallet sitting in my garage and I keep thinking I should do something with it or get rid of it. Your project is so amazing. I am artistic but have never tried building stuff like this! I don't even know where to begin cutting/assembling stuff etc. My husband is handy but does not enjoy DIY projects :) Hope you will share your table assembling process. Thanks so much for the inspiration!
