Great job. I am sure your mother in law is beaming with pride.

Hi Ron,

This is a nice entertainment stand and it adds some storage as well. You did a good job of finishing the cherry.

Thanks for the post.

Good looking stand!

Nice table and I likr the finish. Did you do any prep on it besides sanding?

Very Nice Job Ron, You must have planned ahead, The TV is perfect fit. I wouldn’t worry about the cords, I’m looking at the table and hadn’t even noticed the cords. If you wanted you might run them over along the underneath the back top overhang and down the leg (just a thought). The table looks to be the Ideal size to double for a coffee table as well. I’m sure that your Mother-in-Law simply loves it. Keep the projects coming.

very nice job. I remember you talking about not wanting to stain it and jsut sun aging it. It came out really nice that way. the cherry looks beautiful too. thanks for the post.

Sandhill – no prep besides sanding – but I did use wood conditioner as the first coat. I was going to stain it but I changed my mind. I put on the poly after the wood conditioner

Dusty – kind of my own plans – I saw a similar table and gave mine the same design to fit her tv. Finish looks darker and smoother in person.

Pappyjohn – my wife is already working on the cord issue – some foo-foo floral arrangement or whatever on the bottom shelf.

Thanks for all the great comments!

This is great. Looks like you’ve even got some curl on the legs.

Perfect size for the TV. Nice sturdy look, and a wonderful finish. Plus you earned bonus points with your mother-in-law! Great job!

I’m keen to know more about “wood conditioner”. How does it work? Soften the wood? Or close the open pore?

Thanks.
