This was a commission piece the client had a old door that came out of our state capitol and she wanted to make a photo layout table with it. So this is what i came up with. The door was huge so i trimmed it down to 3ft x 6ft, then wrapped the edges with birds eye maple. The legs are 4×4 pine with long notches cut out and then put back in after the main leg was stained (while the pieces put back in stayed unstained). The bottom is just a really cool figured birch plywood. Add some casters and done.
Hope you like… and thanks for looking…. Doug

Hi Doug;
I have no idea what a photo layout table is used for, but it sure is pretty!
Very nice work!

Looks great!!!
Lee, this could be in the Jeopardy “Stupid Answers” category. It is used for laying out photos! :-) (when trying to choose between a number of photos taken during a given shoot)

Yup thats a correct guess “Charlie” the client was a photographer and wanted a large layout table that could be rolled in and out of the way. Sorry guess i should have explained more.
The finish is kinda my own adaptation of an old fashion French polish. I put down a brush coat of 1lb cut shellac 3or4 times and sand in between. Then 2or3 coats of wipe on poly. For me it seems to be the easiest fool-proof finish technique.
Thanks for looking Dug

Nice build and finish. I don’t think that I’ve seen a piece of glass that looks as smooth as the top of this table.
