Wow, a knockout finish on a great piece of furniture! If that’s your semi-gloss, your gloss must outshine the sun!
Thanks for sharing.
Well done!

I love it. My drafting/ drawing table ( I’m an architectural illustrator) is an unfinished door supported by 2 unmatching cabinets on either side.

Wow, that is awesome work, nicely done and great selection of wood. How many hours went into the project? I haven’t had much luck with my lock miter bit…. seems like yours is dead on, very gutsy to chamfer right over the lock mitered area – did you have any open areas form? A masterpiece :-)

-- Sneaking up on the line....

Countless hours went into the project. Interestingly, the top surface of the table top took almost as long as building the entire rest of the drafting table. The top had to be redone about 10 times due to a variety of issues with me being unable to successfully rub out Waterlox.

I actually stopped at that part to build an elaborate spray booth which took a few months.

Once I chose spraying EM6000 as the top of the surface, I was able to rub it out successfully.

Didn’t have any open areas over the lock miters, but I practiced on multiple pieces of wood, and my Incra LS positioner and router lift helped immensely dialing it in. Truly insisted on accuracy to 0.001 inch for that part. That being said, a simple miter joint, glued solidly and then chamfered would accomplish the same thing with far less effort. I would chose that route in the future.

I would love to sit down to that table instead of a cubicle! Very nice
