  1. Industrial Modern Table - Sweet Gum w/ Brass Accents

    Hey Guys, I recently finished this Industrial Modern table with a Sweetgum top and Modern Brass/Gold accents on the steel table frame. I used the Festool Domino to do "Cheater" breadboard ends. The finish is General Finishes Arm R Seal Oil and Poly, love that stuff. I am also going to be...
  2. Cubbie Bookshelf

    This is my first official completed woodworking project as a "serious woodworker". I've got a lot to learn but I sure absorbed a lot of information during the process of building this bookshelf. I started out with a design that would properly fit the removable bins that you see pictured...

    This is the 2nd version of the Butterfly Cross. It is made of Mahogany
  4. Living Room cabinet

    This is my second attempt at raised panel doors. I created my own jig for my Delta Unisaw to make raised panel doors on the table saw. These are the largest doors I've made in raised panels. The first attempt was considerably smaller. My 14-year old son and I worked on this off and on for...
  5. Bear Chair

    This is a chair I made for my two year old son. The wood is pine and some 1/2 inch plywood they were throwing away at work. Its not fancy just screwed and glued with a couple of coat brown spray paint. I hate spray paint but I needed it done fast and its 28 degrees in my shop right now so stain...

    Hi! I am a stay-at-home mom, completely inexperienced with finishing, but financially unable to purchase new furniture at this time. I bought a beautiful, large dining room claw foot table with a leaf for $100 a few years ago. At that time, the top finish and stain had been rubbed off from...

    So I'm getting down to the finishing touches on my most ambitious project; a large table with slide extensions and leaves. It's Red Oak and looks nice. I sanded to only 150 per the instructions on the finish. (Though I did a test piece to 220 and it was just silky smooth. So I almost went for...

    Hi fellow LJs. Need help here about my project. I just stripped one of our bedroom floor with red oak floor (it had varnish). I started with 50 grit and I'm done sanding it to 120 and I'm ready to finish it with Tung Oil. I bought Pure Tung oil and will mix it with mineral spirit and will add...

    I'm brand new to spraying finishes and I'm very pleased with the performance of my Critter sprayer (purchased from Amazon) and the General Finishes High-Performance Water Based Matte Top Coat. The General Finishes top coat is a bit expensive and I've seen good reviews on the Varathane Water...

    I just laid down my 7th coat of oil base polyurethane (applied with a brush) on a dinning room table made from 1×6's of solid oak. I mistakenly didn't put wood filler in the tiny cracks between the boards before finishing and still have crevasses in a few spots of my top coat (I have pics, but...

    Hello, it feels good to be back after a few years of not logging in. I hoping I can receive some direction on what to use as the top coat. I was not sure what finish this 100 year old clock had, but the old varnish was flaking. I applied a stripper and 000 steel wool for a day with lacquer...

    Hello, I'm a pretty new memeber on here, i'm hoping to get some advice. I recently built a ktichen cart with fold up Maple top to expand the surface area. The customers now want a darker color than the maple, and they said they plan to use the top to chop veggies every now and then. I'm not...

    I am finishing a tiger maple bar top and want to pop the grain. I plan on using trans-tint dye to start the grain popping process. I have heard that I should then use boiled linseed oil to really pop the grain. My concern is that I plan on top coating with a 2 part clear epoxy, and I am...

    Yesterday I tried fuming a white oak mission-style clock using 10% ammonia for seven hours. I like the color after the initial greenish- grey brown mellowed overnight, with the green cast almost gone. A question I haven't seen addressed with fuming is how long I should wait after removing the...
