Shaker Table Completed!
Well, the Shaker table is now complete and ready for sale! As I mentioned in my previous post, I used 3 coats of a Tung Oil finish followed by thinned coats, about 1-2 lb cuts of shellac; I used about 3 coats on the main part of the table and 5 coats on the top. The shellac was rubbed out with 0000 steel wool and paste wax. I think the oil does a nice job of revealing the stripes in the tiger maple. I know a lot of people like to use a dye to do that, but I think oil works great, it's simple and more natural. As this is cherry, the piece will get darker over time and with exposure to sun. So, here it is!

Really nice tables!
ReplyDeleteVery nice. The oil has brought the grain out well, and as the cherry darkens I think the table will look more striking.
ReplyDeleteI am an amature woodworker to say the least....but i would like to be able to step up my techniques to be on this level of craftsmanship! My only technical training came from high school shop class 20 years ago.
ReplyDeleteNice piece, very simple but elegant... should be able to turn out 4 or 5 a week.... great way to pick up some extra cash...... ;-)

The ligher color contrast of the drawer face really makes the table stand out, amazing job.

I also like the contrast of the drawer really stands out nicely. Here is a suggestion, what about using the same design perhaps shortening the legs a few inches, adding a lower shelf OR another drawer and turning it into a bedside pedestal?
ReplyDeleteAlong with my holiday letting job I am an Internet Marketer and also promote Woodworking Plans & Project. You should find some very interesting & useful information from this program. Please let me know what you think.

Nicely done, I love the cherry/maple combination. It's just classic.
ReplyDeleteIt looks great! Almost like the one I got at Faifer & Company
ReplyDeleteVery nice...love the grain of the top boards
ReplyDeleteI like the shaker table design and the cherry and maple combo. If you want a custom wall unit designed and built in the same style, you can contact Craig, who designs exclusively for Woodwork Creations and he'll whip you up something fabulous.
ReplyDeleteGreat plans. I found a table saw reviews site and need to buy of course I throw on the job.
