a steel and oak dining table

we dropped this one off last friday ... 

it had to go to a second floor dining room and the boys

said they barely made it up the steps and in. 

an inch longer and it may not have fit .. funny,

it didn't seem tight when i was there to see the space

it was another, based on this maple table we made last fall

a quartered oak coffee table

finished up a new quartered oak coffee table last week

the client requested a 'driftwood gray' finish which was a bit of a struggle,

but we got it in the end ... 42 x 64 x 17, and about 250 pounds with the steel on it.

an american walnut table

we finished a couple of projects last week and I am just getting time to write about them now ...

this project consisted of am 8 foot walnut table with a steel base

and 8 of our contemporary ladderbacks ..

nice walnut from irion lumber, our usual source

the 8/4 boards

three steel bases at the same time .. that doesn't happen often ..

the unfinished table with the polished steel, ready for the 'bronze' patina ..

in the spray booth ... we are using a new custom tinted m l Campbell

envirovar conversion varnish .. closest yet to an oil finish look ...

these, below, have 3 coats of m l Campbell magna lac, in the 'dull rubbed' sheen ..
