Initial finish coat on the table, the grain really pops from the resin..
this coat was supposed to be a seal coat, and then I'd go over it again after the resin cures with various grits of sandpaper...
However this wood is really thirsty.. I expected it to absorb a lot of resin where the end grain is.. (where the branch is) , but it drank a lot of resin.. I put a fairly heavy uniform coat on, and you can see where the wood just drank it all up..
