Mission End Tables

Excellent!! I love the look of quarter sawn. Have a stack of 4/4 waiting for inspiration. Wish I had some thicker stock for legs and such but got a heck of a deal on the 4/4.

Nice looking work there Doug. I like the whole feel of them. Good stuff!

I also noticed your signature. My Uncle (a true craftsman in my opinion) said something similar. If I remember correctly he said “The only difference between a wood worker and an outstanding wood worker is the ability to hide mistakes” .... The longer I do this the more I find those words ring true….

Got to agree with the crew above, nice work on these timeless pieces Doug. I bet your glad you went with the grain filler, the top should feel silky smooth and a pleasure to gaze at…thank for show…BC

Good jog on the tables. I like the detail on the legs.

Thanks for all the kind words.

For some reason I read a LJ review of CrystaLac, and then ordered it. Now I wish I’d known about it years ago.

-- Doug - As my Dad taught me, you're not a cabinet maker until you can hide your mistakes.

If and when my contractor ever finishes my workshop addition, I’ve got plans to build some Mission style furniture like this. The plans I have did the mitered legs also. Any tips on doing these? Seems like it might take a fair amount of work to get these to fit decently. Greg

Wonderful figure in the wood. Really nice build on these end tables. Love the corbels!
