  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. 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...
  3. Recycled lumber patio bar

    So long time coming but I finally got this patio bar done for my sister. I found an old cedar barn door and some 4×8 posts at the yard debris drop off one day and thought it looked like some table pieces. A year later waiting for it to dry out and ta-da - a table. Since I had gotten the top and...

    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...
  5. Designing Woodworking Projects
    I'm helping a buddy buddy tomorrow to build a seamless wall. We're framing out a 2×4 stage floor with 3/4" ply on top, then on top of that goes a surface of 3/16" hardboard. Adding difficulty is that near the wall we're curving things up along curved plywood ribs (think fins with 90° circles cut...

    I'm nearly finished with my shaker style workbench, a project that I've been working on in fits and starts for the last 5 years. The last round of work included a leg vise, dead man, and ship lap to enclose the bank of 9 drawers under the bench. I painted the ship lap with Folkart brand milk...

    Hi all, Just a quick question. I'm preparing to finish one of my first projects. The piece is ambrosia maple, no stain, dye, sealer, etc. I like it's natural look with just some extra pop from a nice topcoat. I planned on applying General Finishes high performance water based topcoat. I've read...

  9. Finishing
    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...

    Okay. I just had our 90 year old oak floors redone in our home. I was going to do them myself, but i destroy with band sanders. Anyways, i really wanted a white based finish. Or a non-yellow finish. I went through all sorts of options including whitewashing, pickling, white stains and so forth...
  11. Sweating for Bucks Through Woodworking
    I am building a set of bookshelves for a contractor that I go to church with. I am ready to start on the first staining run (the carcases, fixed shelves, and backs). I usually use polyurethane in these cases. Usually the finishe turns up with some undesirable stuff in it (bugs, dust, etc.)...

    My son applied a colored wax for a piece he built. Its a bit soft and we were wondering if we should/could apply a polyurethane topcoat to harden and protect the wax finish. I dont know enough about finishing to understand what we can do next to "finalize" the finish. Advice appreciated!
  13. Woodworking Skill Share
    Does anyone make your own wood stains? Do you use something that most wouldn't normally consider using or know can be used to high lite or stain wood? I've been experimenting lately with some kool aid on some scrap with good results, it doesn't really stain the wood as much as it gives wood a...
