Project Information

Third one. First one had no… I call them the aprons, i could be wrong. Second one fell off the table saw when the garage door hit the pipe clamps that were upside down knocking it to the floor and denting the top of the table. Third one was sanded more, 5 coats of Lacquer. And hidden in the front room where nobody could hurt it.

Oh… details. Red Mahogany Stain Finish. Custom legs I stole the pattern from my brother-in-law's mother's old table and i have no idea how old it was, but the pattern was there and i had a pencil. so, viola, it's as good as mine.
19 3/4" in length and 13" in width

I like it Obi. What is the wood? I think the reference to Mahogany is the stain, not the wood. Have I got that correct?

Obi, nice work. What species of wood did you use - cherry? I like the joinery and laquer finish. Great project.

Great looking table. finish came out nice. That's a heap of lacquer. What stain did you use? Looks like MinWax - oil base. Have you tried any aniline dyes?

this is cool… beautiful lines and looks really functional-besides just being a table

Obi, if this is one of those pieces that you've mentioned as "settling for good-enough" I'll be looking forward to something that actually meets your personal high standard!
This looks very nice.

Nice. Great idea, Great finish. Cherry is really a show off wood.

Darryl. this is one of them. With all the potential that the style has, and the potential that the wood has, i expect more out of it. I guess taking all into consideration, this is that bad for an old Framer. Sanding … I need to do more sanding.

I loaded a bunch of pictures to my website so you can see the project before and after I finished it. I think in the future I'll be adding pictures of the manufacture and construction process.

In fact I might just have to make one for myself to keep all my Shopnotes magazines and Wood Smith magazines.

I'm thinking of another wood combination, or maybe Mahogany
