What do you think of this idea? Any suggestions? I really like this old timey map: http://cgi.ebay.com/Ancient-Map-of-the-World-Painted-by-COFFEE-Hand-made_W0QQitemZ290252503033QQihZ019QQcategoryZ2206QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem<BR/><BR/><BR/>What is the dimension of the table? I don't recall what the length and width are.<BR/><BR/>I bought some vinyl spackle for the sides to get a nice smooth surface. I was looking into some of the textured paints to give it a natural look on the side. There are some really nice subtle styles I saw at Lowes that involve a two part process (not the cheesy grit spray paint). They had some that looked like stone (sandstone, granite), leather, plastered walls, and a few others. The texture on them is real subtle and pretty realistic. Do you know of any way to make a fake woodgrain or get something like that? I saw people on some house decorating show once who had hired people who were painting a woodgrain on to something by hand and it was super expensive. I'd need a quicker consumer-type option. Send me your email address again please because I don't have yours.DBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03602023058549309779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4428606550382740471.post-13017693023845041692008-08-09T23:33:00.000-04:002008-08-09T23:33:00.000-04:00Brad, just got the two islands and they look fanta...Brad, just got the two islands and they look fantastic! I stopped by the site here to see if you did anything else and much to my surprise the table is finished! It looks amazingly fantastic. I can't wait to get the rest of the table! I will be sure to give it a proper finish.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for all the hard work. We'll need to talk payment at some point.DBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03602023058549309779noreply@blogger.com
