Cypress Top Tables

[Larry Rose]

LOML volunteered my services to the Church to make a pair of simple end tables for the ladies lounge. This is what I came up with. The tops are cypress and the under carriages soft maple painted and lightly distressed. I'll never pay for my habit if I keep this up.

Great tables, really like the color in the cypress. Did you use milkpaint?

 

[KurtG]

Larry, those cypress tops look good. What did you put on them?

I sealed the top with shelac then stained it with Olympic Gel stain(mahogony) and finished with 3 coats of Minwax Antique Oil. The bottoms have a coat of red latex then black latex and sanded thru in places. the I applied a coat of wax with 0000 steel wool.
