  1. Here are a few after just the single coat for comparison. Different lighting, but still noticeable. And one sanded to bare wood.
  2. Yeah I didn't mind the single coat look, but I could see how a lot of people would think it looked unfinished. Probably looks better on some wood species than others. I was worried the maintenance oil would bring the sheen up too much, but it's perfect. It is more matte now than it was when I took those pictures. Maybe somewhere between matte and satin.
  3. Highly recommend the Pure color on black walnut. It looks amazing. The maintenance oil really gave it a professional looking finish too. Also, the sanding is really important. Tons of videos out there, but I used multiple grits all the way up to 180 and water popped the grain between each. Maroon pad by hand before the final maintenance oil coat.
  4. Always looks different in pictures, but our kitchen table was long overdue for a refinish. Used Waterlox before and was never really happy with it. Tried Rubio Monocoat this time and love how it turned out. One coat of finish and one coat of maintenance oil. Super easy to use and dries to a nice matte/satin sheen that still looks like wood rather than a plastic coating like some do.
  5. You should be grateful to your executive overlords for allowing you such a generous perk. I know I am.
  6. Yes, agreed. I have two girls and worry about the body shaming bullshit. Morbidly obese is not okay in my opinion though. That ain't genetics (yes I'm a doctor...no I'm not) and it's a lack of self respect. Teenage girls and everything they have to deal with scare the shit out of me though so not looking forward to that stage.
  7. Being unhealthy should never really be celebrated regardless of whether or not it 'makes you feel good'. I don't understand that mentality.
  8. I'll never forget the day I got a nice unexpected bonus at work only to get a text from my wife that the dashboard on her car lit up like a Christmas tree. Ended up costing me way more than the bonus.
  9. Or contact me in any way. Even if it's directly related to my job responsibilities. Fuck them.
  10. And they will get 8-9 spots. So, again, what the fuck is the point of what you posted?
  11. Not you. I still don't understand what the point of Statmans post was. Seems like the BIG and SEC would be content having all the money, all the recruiting, all the prime TV spots, and 75% of the playoff spots.
  12. It sounds like maybe he thinks the BIG and SEC should be getting more than 8-9 of the 12 spots?
  13. Okay...so explain the problem again?
  14. Are you saying they would split off in a scenario where they already get 9-10 out of 12 playoff spots?
  15. Arizona State has won six games over the past two years. Arizona had a nice season and then their coach jumped ship. CU has potential, but to this point has been all hype. They draw lots of eyeballs, but were honestly shit last year.
  16. I need a track saw. What's the best reasonable option? This house looks awesome. More pics?
  17. Just use some drywall anchors. Should be good.
  18. Are these any good? Our pepper mill sucks and it's pissing me off.
  19. I'd just get a few varieties of Marie Sharp's. Regular green label, grapefruit, and green nopal would be my choice for not too hot. All of them can be found at Fiesta.
  20. Early stages of a Lego table for the kids.
  21. Similar to Wüsthof Gourmet line.
  22. Wait...you had that little door in the wall and a TV was behind it?
