Side table project almost complete

[EricS]

QSWO from a tree that fell 3 years ago. It’s been air drying in a stack outside the shop since i cut up up a few months after it fell. I made these to somewhat match the coffee table I made from the same tree about a year ago. I will fume with ammonia and finish with shellac and a coat of wax to finish it off. I love a satin finish.

Should make a nice how-to posting for the Resource forum. Please consider a write-up.

Great Idea! I will document with pictures and process. The color is pure reaction between the tannins in the wood and the ammonia.

Very nice Eric. My only critique is with the staked tenon, I believe would look better if it was an arc instead of angle. I think it would better match the arc you have in the aprons.

Here is the reason for the angled tenon. Trying to keep some continuity to the set.

I totally understand. Great job

Artistic juxtaposition then! I have no idea what I just wrote!

Eric, that is one very nice table...some of the best white oak i've seen. I especially like the Q/S grain matching all around. Great job.
