Curly Maple Arts & Crafts Style Table Curly Maple Arts & Crafts Style Table No-picture-s Click the pictures to enlarge them

My first Arts & Crafts style table. Very nice lady requested a TV/VCR stand out of Maple, I just used the curly since it was already in the shop. I didn’t know people still bought VCR’s, but she did for her husband’s xmas present…

Very nice looking table. The wood grain in that maple is gorgeous. Thank you for sharing.

Great table. I think that curly maple adds a little extra to anything that is made from it.

How many people have curly maple like that, just laying in the shop? And how much hand planning/scraping did it take to get that beautiful grain to pop out like that? Nice job!

I bought it to do our bedroom set, and the orders came in so money making projects come before Making-The-Wife-Happy projects. I went back to my supplier Sunday to get the curly maple to replace what I used for this table, the pile is still pretty big. Not to worry, I put the MTWH project in the schedule so I am delaying the paying projects until the bedroom set is done.

What is this hand planing and scraping you speak of? I do sand it out to a 500 grit Abralon pad. I always use Deft Natural Oil for the finish, that really accentuates the figuring.

Rich – great table. I really like the curly maple. What process do you use for applying the Deft Natural Oil? Your finish looks wonderful.

I do a very wet coat, keep applying to keep it wet looking for about 10-15 minutes. Then I wipe it dry. Then let it sit for about 7 days, until all the tackiness is gone. Then I do a quick abralon 1000 grit sand. Follow that with a quick wipe on/wipe off coat, which I wet about a 1 sw ft area and then immediately wipe it dry. Another 24 hours drying time and it is good to go.

I have some maple like that in my shop waiting for the right project. I afraid I may mess it up. If I had your skills I’d be a bit more confident to use it : ) .
