Very nice table, I wouldn’t mind seeing a pic when it gets to the office.

A very nice table. I like the way you fluted the legs. However, rather than staining the walnut, couldn’t you just have made new office furniture to match the table?

Very sturdy and nice office table. The fluted legs adds to its look. The finish is so soothing. It is rare to see table without any support for the legs at the bottom.

How long do you estimate this project took ?

Nice touch with the legs. I like it.

Thanks Guys!

SawdustMill, I’d say maybe 8 hours total. This is really a very simple little table. The legs are attached to the apron with two 3/8” dowels on each face, and the top is attached with four table clips that float in grooves in the apron cut with my biscuit joiner.

Stained walnut! What where you thinking…might as well have painted it…well I guess it does look pretty good…real good in fact.

You should have bought some mahogany and saved the walnut. Nice table Charlie.

I might have to try that design with some of the Sapele that i got from the door and window shop.

Very Nice Charlie! Using stain is “against my religion”...especially for something like walnut, but I love the looks of this. It is beautiful.

Thanks for posting it.

Thats a nice looking table, Charlie.

Awesome table Charlie. I like the clean lines. Thank you for sharing.

-- Depend on the rabbit's foot if you will, but remember it didn't work for the rabbit.

Very nice Charlie… I like the fluted legs. How did you taper out the corner flutes at the top?

Thamks again, everyone!

Steve, I was using a cove bit, and had a block set up to stop the piece at a certain point as I ran it along the fence of the router table. When you hit the stop block and lift the piece away from the table, you are automatically left with that taper at the end of the cut.

Nice table Charlie, nice job on the top and legs. Hey I put mahogany stain on my Thorsen contest table. Oh yea, I did’nt win anything either. Oh well it looks good anyway.

Charlie-
Good looking table. And I viewed it in your office setting, looks like a perfect fit. The grain on the top seems to be really emphasized in the office picture. Is that because of the mahogany stain?
Did you use a light coat of the stain?

Thanks for posting-

Dave, I used Minwax red mahogany. I applied it liberally with a foam brush, and wiped the excess after 10 minutes, so I’d call that a heavy coat.

In this case, I’d say the stain neither enhanced nor detracted from the natural beauty of the grain. It just changed the color a bit, which is what I was looking for.

I guess I looked at these in reverse. Nice job Charlie.

It really took a lot of B*s to risk staining Walnut , but I think it came out beautiful just the same …the fluted legs reallly add to the piece…..how tall is this table ?

-- Dusty56@comcast.net

Not so much, Dusty…. I did a scrap test first and liked how it came out, so I figured what the heck?

Height is about 20” I think. Whatever standard chair seat height is…I made it to fit between two chairs.

Great table, it must be getting a lot of complements from people who see it in your office.
