cheezyfryes Valued Member United States 359 Posts	Posted 04/06/2013 5:54 pm Here are pictures of the final result. The clearcoat is still a bit sticky, but I'll buff it to a nice even sheen after it cures for a few days. I lucked out with a pretty nice little piece of birdseye maple. The finish really made the grain pop and it almost looks like a granite countertop. Report this Post to the Staff
Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 04/06/2013 6:55 pm That turned out really nice. That piece of birdseye maple really makes it special. I think it looks a lot better than any granite countertop that I ever saw. Report this Post to the Staff

matthewvincent Pillar of the Community United States 3486 Posts	Posted 04/07/2013 5:11 pm I'll give a "WELL DONE" to this project as well. Going on 72 years old, both the coins and Grandpa. Most importantly: does your 5 year old approve? A labor of love, made with coins, has value beyond any price guide. Report this Post to the Staff
cheezyfryes Valued Member United States 359 Posts	Posted 04/07/2013 5:17 pm Thanks for the compliments, everyone! Grandpa & Grandma are on vacation this week, but the next time we travel up to see them we'll present this gift to my dad. I decided to put an additional two coats of polyurethane on this to give it an extra tough finish. I'll buff it to the final shine after it cures for another couple of days. And yes, Ella approves!
