thanks everyone, Grizz, I am currently employed at a local custom millwork shop working on getting my journeyman’s there and then branching pout on my own. that said I am doing “side jobs” in my own shop, geting customer base and making a name for myself. Business is booming both at my job and in my own shop, I cant keep up with the demand, which is a good complaint to have!

That is a beautifull table!!!

I would like to know more about the finish. I am busy building a cabinet that has to match an ‘espresso’ finish piece. Can you ekaborate on how you got yours so nice? Please.

Hi Chris. Great job. The question now is whether or not your mother will allow anyone to use the table and risk marking that lovely finish? Congratulations from the opposite side of the country.

Tokolosi, I got the stain from my work, it is a dark espresso and its thicker than a minwax stain or something similar to that. I recommend doing a test piece first to get a feel on how long u have to leave it on the work piece to get the colour you want, and I’m not saying its hard or difficult to work with, just a bit different. On top of the stain I sprayed a lacquer finish, not everyone is set up to spray, I do it for efficiency and its a great way to get a “mirror finish” but if u take your time you can achieve the same results with a wipe on poly as well.

John, She is pretty protective over it, she put a table cloth over it first and then she said thats no good because then you cant see it… I made a deal that as long as i get to eat a nice home cooked meal on it from time to time, if there are any scratches over time, ill take care of them lol.
