The boys in the spray shop have just finished the job and it's looking absolutely beautiful, so we thought we'd share with you bit about the process of turning a raw piece of wood into a highly polished, stunning piece of furniture.
Firstly, the rosewood top was sanded down in order to create a super smooth surface to work on. The wood was then edged with a beveled solid iroko lipping to which the table top colour was then matched and stained to.

Once the lacquer had dried, the rosewood was then sanded flat again and the burnishing of the table top began. Firstly a cutting compound was used on the surface and then the high shine was achieved by the use of friction and pressure from a spinning pad on our burnishing tool.
It took a while to do, but the result was phenomenal! Below is an image of the finished article and as you can see, our polishers did such a good job of the shine that you can see our workshop roof and wall in the reflection! Another job well done over here at the mill that we're proud of...happy days!
