I was hoping the pix would be larger so we could see all of the details in your work , But from what I can see here , you’ve done a great job…. : )

Looks really nice! Yeah…larger pictures would be good.

Thank you for the nice comments. I can try to adjust the settings on my camera (however, it is old, I have tried to put my money towards woodworking tools instead).

Nice job. I just use the zoom feature to blow up the size of the picture.

Thanks Brian, can you describe how to find and use the zoom feature.

What type of stain did you go with? Looks very nice.

Sweet desk!

Timber4fun,

I used General Finishes water based stain. The color was “Black Cherry”. Then used a Miniwax wipe on poly for the top coat. The desk received 4 coats of the wipe on poly, the top of the desk received 6 or 7 coats, I can’t remember.

This is a really nice piece. I’d be awfully proud if I could pull that off.

-- Gary, South Central Wisconsin. So much to learn, so little time!

Very nicely done. You did a beautiful job on this piece. Thanks for posting.

God Bless

Excellent looking table you built there , I especially like the contrast of two woods used on the draws . Those DT’s look great , its hard to tell from the pic but did you sign and date the draw sides ? Nice touch if that’s what I’m seeing .

Thank you for the nice comments.

JerryS – yes I used quartersawn red oak for the drawer front to match the rest of the desk. the interior of the drawer is poplar. And, yes I did sign and date the desk. I also put my logo. Thanks for looking.
