This piece was custom order that a client ordered for his son who was just a few years old. I forgot to measure it before I delivered it but it was just under 4 feet long. The top is made out of maple. The legs were made out of Douglas fir. I drew and colored the animals and checker board with color markers. And I colored the border using a stain. I then finished it with a gloss deft spray. This was my first furniture table.

This is beautiful. And you just opened my mind to all sorts of ideas. How did you keep the markers from bleeding out?

Very well done, Kenneth. I especially like the technique of having the animals reaching over the border. I also think children will appreciate that all the animals look friendly. Great color composition and layering technique. Excellent.
