Hi there,
I have been thinking for a while to do an upgrade on our spare room with a small office desk. We have a day bed so I figured that the optimal configuration would be to have a long desk that I can also use for storage.
With the current COVID19 restrictions, I actually expedited the project.
Therefore, I bought myself a Acacia Solid board (2200 x 600 x 26mm) on Bunnings. Great and cheap alternative.
For now, I used old legs and a did a 70x45mm Treated pine structure to hold the desk. However, my goal is the following:
- Seal the board and perhaps fade it a bit with white paint.
- Install white timber legs
- Install white timber structure
- Install a mobile storage under the desk
My first question for this project is how to seal the board properly with a cheap and easy alternative. It is great timber (which has been slightly oiled) but is currently very porous and rough.
