Here is the larger coffee table base. Ready to be sprayed. We will spray them with Satin Polycrylic and most likely have to flip it upside down and spray the bottome with couple of coats and when that is dry, flip it back over and do the top part.
The creative process of building the supports for the glass top took longer than expected, but then again we always expect the unexepected, so then again we did expect it. Hahaha did that make sense? Anyway here it is, we are hoping to spray them tomorrow and sunday if the wind does not blow like mad.
Here is the other coffee table, my husband is working on one and I am working on the other. You can see that the gold color of wood is now getting lighter This side is finished, time to roll it over.
We are finally at the sanding and polishing stage. We shand with 180 to 220 on the darker wood and 220 – 400 on the lighter wood. We will then take it outside where the light is perfect and make sure that we have all the scratches out of it. The colors look dull but once we spray it they will stand out.

This piece here is smaller and we are able to fit it in the blast cabinet. This is a lot nicer way to work, but man after a few days if this my neck gets a severe kink in it. The blast cabinet. After the red colored wood has been blasted. Now we need to shape the rough edges, sand, add the leg supports and glass supports.
Well, it is a good thing we didnt cut the original piece of wood down to size, because our customer decided on something a bit smaller. So here is the new piece of wood. Here it is cut down to size and some of the extra limbs removed.
Here is the second coffee table base which we are going to be working on, this one will ship to Norway as well and it will have a glass top
