Default Semifinished Ebonized Coffee Table

I have basicly finished the Coffee Table, now I am just waiting for the Varnish to cure and will rub it out. Here are a couple of pics. Also there is a Picture frame that I made for my son from some Walnut I picked up from S&G Sawmill.

Thank you Jerry for all of your time, patience and help.

Varnish is not a good finish for rubbing out to a higher gloss(not hard enough). Whatever you decide give the table atleast 4-6 weeks for the varnish to cure before doing anything. Your table is not only well done it appears very sturdy. By the way I have a daughter and granddaughter who live way up north in La. Shreveport.

Keep up the good work

Jerry

Randy,
Really like the look of the table - do you mind my asking what you used for the ebony finish and what wood? Looks great!

Hello Gilbear,

The table is made of Pine & Poplar Pallet wood. I then used a water based Black paint dye/addictive, 1 coat of 1# Shellac, 3 coats of Ebony stain and 4 coats of Satin Wipe on Varnish my own thinned version. The only problem I found is that I do not do very good at wiping on Varnish. I am better with a brush.

Here is a pic before I finished it.

Randy,

Thank you for sharing your pics. The table and frame both turned out great! I hope that I am able to start producing projects that look even half as good!

Thank you all.

With the way work is going it will be March before I can finish the End Table that I have almost finished putting together. The End Table will be in the same style and Color that I have with the Coffee Table. The End Table is Solid Oak and made from Pallet wood also.
