I tried undoing the sandblasting on one of the billiards, then finishing it:
I did some tricks to try to amplify the grain, which worked somewhat. On close inspection, I see that I didn't do such a good job smoothing it out - there are still a lot of pits. Live and learn...
I like this one,,,I had a thought of trying the same thing,but it will have to wait until next spring.
