They turned out great really didn’t expect that in the beginning! Super cool 😎

[@mmcc_woodshop6288]

Thanks man! My first time ever working with sycamore!

[@Dustins_Woodworking]

I like the natural. Less yellow. Good job! Good video.

[@mmcc_woodshop6288]

Thanks Dustin!

[@vinceolson2473]

Dude ! Awesome ! Oh , I like both finishes , but prefer the Natural . Thanks for the inspration .

[@mmcc_woodshop6288]

Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts!

[@talkingmissions]

Normally I like the richness of an oil finish but this time that soft natural look really grabs my attention!

[@mmcc_woodshop6288]

I still can’t decide! Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

[@user-ee7jv7go6f]

Nice job , they look great…. And for the finish I don’t have a favorite they both look nice.. but that was a lot of money for cracks , you still made it work and something nice.. I can’t wait for your next project video.. keep up the great work…! That’s the best part of my day is watching your videos….

[@mmcc_woodshop6288]

Loving the natural

[@mmcc_woodshop6288]

👍🏻👍🏻

[@brettturner6993]

I've used a lot of Rubio pure but over the last year I gone to natural more often, probably because I like it better on white oak and even have used it on ash and elm. Thanks for the great video!

[@mmcc_woodshop6288]

Thanks Brett! The natural holds the ‘true’ color of the wood almost perfectly. It looks awesome on elm from pictures I’ve seen!

[@pamelajones6243]

those are beautiful. I like Pure.

[@mmcc_woodshop6288]

Thanks!

[@kathryntrantham6494]

They are both beautiful, but I really like the natural finish.

[@mmcc_woodshop6288]

Thanks! I still can’t decide between them personally 😆

[@theprowitzproject9403]

Looks great! I think the natural is my favorite. I feel like the other is a little too yellow for my taste.

[@mmcc_woodshop6288]

Thanks! Natural highlights the actual color perfectly!

[@mrrobinsj2]

Nice work and the Pure is the better colour

[@mmcc_woodshop6288]

Thanks! 👍🏻

[@Kopsu87]

Those tables look like the surface of Jupiter

[@mmcc_woodshop6288]

Haha I love that analogy!

[@user-mn8dv6zz5s]

Id would Domino it together & bow tie it too.

[@mmcc_woodshop6288]

Bow ties would’ve looked sweet on these 👍🏻

[@vincentsauve7434]

Nice work! I prefer the pure.

[@mmcc_woodshop6288]

Thanks Vincent!

[@w9jim]

Natural, by far. I've used those exact table legs.

[@mmcc_woodshop6288]

I was surprised by how nice the leg quality was!
