What a unique combination of A&C with a Japanese flair. Very well done.

Nice work. I’ve played with fuming and gotten greys, not reddish brown. What did you do? Also, how did you emboss the stars?

Hi QSWO, I fumed for 12 hours using 26% ammonia and then finished in Osmo. No stain. Before I put the Osmo on the timber was kinda green but it just popped as soon as the clear oil went on.
Regarding the embossed stars I literally dampened the wood and gently punched them one by one and then went over it again. I dabbled with ink stamping, carving and branding but this gave the best indentation and shadow. The fuming seemed to penetrate the pattern well too.

Wow I really like this. It has a great design that is both unique and classic. Well done. Love the joinery.

By far the nicest “utility table” I have ever seen! Such a graceful piece! Both influences are there, and they compliment each other. Love the through M&Ts. Congrats on a wonderful job!
