I bought these last fall but since most of the stuff for the coffee table won't be ready until this fall I left them in the box. I bought three sizes, 3/4.5/8 & 2 inch.


Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
We're looking forward to having some coffee on that table this fall in front of a nice warm fire. I'm going to build a table for outside by the fireplace, nothing fancy just something to hold some food before cooking.

I am hoping its a big thick Phat table.............
It won't be that thick slab of Hemlock, I'm not sure what thickness I milled the pine, 2.5 or 3 inches I think.

That's perfect!
 
This should be ready to start sanding by fall, what grit sandpaper would you use when you start sanding then to finish sanding.

I'd start with 80 then 100 or 120 finishing up with 150 or 180.Pine dont take or need as high of polish as harder woods.You need something for any topcoats to 'grip' to.
