Another Queen Anne table. I learned a lot making its predecessor, and incorporated some design changes.
I had some nicely figured maple and used it for the top and apron, cutting the drawer front for grain continuity. The drawer dovetails were hand cut, I love cutting dovetails!
It was stained using Transtint brown mahogany, diluted to about 1/3 normal strength; this way I can sneak up on the color I want. I have learned to apply the dye using a cheap airbrush - that way, I can apply more where needed and feather the color. I have even used it in a cheap airbrush to color whitewood on cherry to the point it cannot be distinguished from the good wood.
The finish is a couple of coats of tung oil dried for a week each, followed by 3 sprayed coats of 1/2 satin, 1/2 semi gloss lacquer, polished out with 2000 grit compound.
