again, for my daughter in her new apt.
she moved out the tiny closet like apt she had and moved into a large 2 bedroom apt, and she needs some end tables for the sofa.
We both know this isn't an apt she might be at more than a year or so, things change, furniture needs could change, so this was a fast, pocket screw assembly, cherry legs(small taper), cherry aprons, and that mystery wood I love so much for the tops.
I just love the look of this wood, wish I had 500 board feet more.(at the 89 cents a bf I paid back in 2009)
I still need to clean up a bit, and only ran the tops through the drum sander at 80 grit, so need to sand them down with orbital to 180.
Sanding is easy enough, so theres a chance I can do some sanding after my treatments each day this week.(as long as Im not that drowsy)
Legs and apron will be stained with dark stain, top will be stained with clear, 2 coats, then will all be sprayed with what I have left, em6000 semi gloss.
Should be finished in 2 weeks.(not sure if she wants an ogee edge routed on top, her decision)
Ill post final picture. Heres some shots of progress.
