Do tables sweat? Yes, in some cases, tables can "sweat" due to condensation or the release of oils from the wood. This can happen if a table is used with ice or cold drinks on it, as one user noticed with a granite countertop. It can also cocur when sapele wood is curing, where oils can seep out of the pores. Yes, it's possible for some tables, particularly those made of wood, to "sweat." This usually happens when the wood is still curing, or when oil or sap seeps out of the pores. If the wood hasn't been properly dried or if a finish like oil is being applied, it can create a temporary "sweating" effect on the surface. Tables "sweat" when the temperature and humidity levels are such that condensation forms on their surface, similar to how a cold glass of water will sweat in a warm room. This typically happens when a cooler object comes into contact with warmer, moist air. No, tables cannot "sweat" in the sense that humans and animals do. Sweat is a bodily secretion that is produced by sweat glands in animals in order to help regulate temperature. Tables, being inanimate objects, do not have sweat glands or the physiological mechanisms to produce sweat. "Sweating" a table, in a woodworking context, typically refers to a finish like oil seeping out of the wood pores and causing a wet, sticky surface. This usually happens when the wood is newly finished, and it's a temporary issue that can be resolved with patience and proper care.
The show features photos and drawings by Owen and Grady and their other friends as well as a copy of a book written by Jo Kim.
