Marbles . . .

Loosing and and finding them can be fun.

It was time to replace our front hall table. We combined a treadle sewing machine base and an antique marble table top.

This table top had a deep stain that we could not remove.

So (you do know what's coming next, right?), out came some Sakura® Pigma Microns. We're using black and brown to match this stain.

We coated it with Minwax® semi-gloss polyurethane.

Here's a detail shot. The old marble's porous surface gives the pen edges a nice velvety feel.

We'll show you how it looks when we do some more.
