This was a project my mother seen on her visit last year. It is from an article in Fine Woodworking magazine # 215. We (me & my hubby) had lots of funny making it together. The table was fairly easy to make, its made from quarter sawn white oak and I used 2 different colored stains (golden oak & red oak) to get the color the way the I wanted it to look.

Nice and lovely table, and great job. I particularly like the wood grain. Your choice of stain color just enhance it.

Question: White wine while working or thinner in such fancy glass? :-)

Best,

Serge

I like the table. I wish my wife would come in the shop, other than her asking me when I’m coming inside.

You did a great job! I like how you prefinished the parts – I think I’m going to try that on one of my projects.

Nice table!

Lori,

Beautiful and inspiring. That is on my to-do list after Christmas. I’ve worn out the magazine but downloaded the pdf.

The finish is super. Did you fill the grain, and if so, what did you use? Really good job.
