Solid African Mahogany Coffee, End, & Hall Tables

Veneered Maple Desk

After the final sanding was completed, we applied the same finish to this desk as we do to many of our projects, which was a coat of sanding sealer followed by two coats of a bright rubbed conversion varnish.

With the sealer and varnish applied, [...]

Veneered Maple Desk

In this picture, we are looking at one of the legs of the table.  Once the glue on the Maple end caps had dried, we used a flush trim bit and our router to trim away the excess Maple overhang.

Solid Cherry Dining, Kitchen, Coffee, and End Tables

Painted and Glazed Curved Dresser with a Stained Alder Top

With the carcass built and the curved sides completed, it was time for us to turn our attention to the two layers of trim work on the top and the bottom.  We decided to make the trim work a frame that followed the outside perimeter of [...]
