Leaves Installed!

Last night I applied a coat of Feed ‘n’ Wax and put the leaves on the table! I attached the steel C-channel to the undersides, and added a strip of 1/4” wide by 1/8” thick weather stripping to each edge. This is just one more layer of protection in case something spills on the table and it makes its way to the seams between leaves:

The leaves are definitely on the lighter side compared to the rest of the table, but I’m liking the contrast. They’ll darken over time, but will probably always remain a few shades lighter:

After re-making the play surface this weekend I’m going to work on the dice towers, and then this project is officially complete!

The past couple of weeks I’ve started thinking about matching chairs…I’ve got some ideas, so I might start working on those shortly after. After I take a little break from building! 😅
