Queen Anne Table

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.

That is beautiful! Your detail work on the legs and feet looks great.
Really beautiful and refined!

Sexy legs!
Nice work Carey.

I saw this in the range box pics, and was going to ask about it, but alas here it is. The range box is nice, but it is a box. This table just flows. 
Very good work Carey! Very nice.
