This table is maple and I made it as her bedside table.

Bryan...
your skill set is pretty impressive.

I'll say

That's a really nice table Bryan. The glueup of the top is very well matched. Did you sand or scrape that top?

 

[bryansong]

Very kind words, thank you.

Tom, for my Christmas project this year as well as for this table I finally got a card scraper and used it here as well as sanding.
I also bought a Verista card scraper burnisher but haven't figured out just yet how to get it to work. I ended up using the rod burnishing method to get a bur.
I'll bet that Verista figured out eventually.

Very nice Bryan.

 

[harrysin]

That is VERY, VERY nice.

You get 5 stars and my seal of approval LOL.

Gifts made from the heart are always the best and your craftsmanship is right on. I'm sure she must enjoy it.
Happy Birthday Denise.

I found a Veritas card sharpener (burnisher) that does a perfect curl in a few passes. Pix. You can dial in the precise angle you want. $35 from Lee Valley. Increased my use of scrapers because it's so easy to use. https://www.leevalley.com/en-us/shop/tools/sharpening/32633-veritas-variable-burnisher

 

[gmercer_48083]

Tom, Does this tool burnish only? And will it burnish a curved scraper... for instance, scraping the butt profile into a chair seat? Or is this for rectangle scrapers only?

Very nice, Bryan...well executed...great attention to detail...

Very nice table. My wife ordered something similar from Home Goods for our family room.
Does anyone use a biscuit joiner for these kinds of projects?

Excellent.

 

[ScottyDBQ]

You must have spent a good amount of time planning that top and shelf - they look super. Excellent result.

Agree with other comments wholehearted.James.

 

[MYB506]

You are obviously a natural born woodworker. Excellent work.

I like the great job you did, Bryan, The simple lines and proportions match to a tee. Scrapers add that little extra to the finished project. The top looks great.

Ok, Bryan...now for the all-important question...

DID YOU GET YOUR WIFE'S PERMISSION TO POST HER AGE...?!?!?!

I gotta believe you are in "deep, dark, doo-doo-caca"
