Still a work in progress because I’m having a hard time figuring out how to finish this thing…
I designed it all in super detail on sketch-up. built most of it – but right now I’m stuck from moving on…
If anyone can offer insight on finishing, I would be all ears and VERY thankful! :)
P.S. Sorry about the grainy-ness of the last two pics (I guess I had my ISO setting to high on my camera. Didn’t realize it – oops.)

Credo,
Marc at The Wood Whisper just did a write up of suggestions for finishing quarter sawn oak. Here’s the link: The Wood Whisper Talks Finish
Sounds to me like this would be applicable for a shaker table as well.
The table looks great – I love the doors in the middle. Would love to see pictures of the top when you get it done – the sketch up image makes the top look very intricate.

Actually, the top is going to be some sort of slate or ceramic tile with oak edging, and a thin strip of oak down the center as well…
I’ve already read Marc’s write up with the ammonia staining – not really what I’m looking for, and this isn’t quarter sawn oak either – so I’m not 100% sure if this would apply as I haven’t seen any flecks to really bring out in the wood…
Thanks for the heads up though!

That’s quite an extensive project. The work with sketchup is equally impressive.
