Basic frame is complete. Top, corbels (already made, but will be mounted
after the top is installed) and the two drawers remain. The panel
glue-up of the top is in the foreground waiting for an overnight glue cure.

I figured out why you and Leon get along so well. You're both
workaholics.
What is it? Computer, woodworking, kiss the wife good night, sleep,
repeat?

That's coming together nicely. I should do more of the finishing as
you go. Looks great.

One man's poi is another man's poison, C_Less ... some folks prefer the
actual grain of a block of wood, no matter how stained, over say, the fake
look of a quadrilinear leg. And, unlike critics who know the way, but can't
drive the car, those capable of paying the piper call the tune. ;)

Yep ... Just about everything you do in woodworking, and construction, that
involves a client means some degree of compromise, even if you do it for
yourself, unless you're an unmarried hermit.

Try some dye on another scrap piece. I'll bet you like it better in

Dye is fun to mess around with. It is to stain what stain is to paint.

I've gotta say I prefer the look of the rays on all sides, but

Table is looking good.
And speaking of people able to pay the piper, I just got a request
to make a round coffee table with a round inset glass top, the recess
has to be deep enough to put a round Auburn University picture puzzle
in for permanent display. Personally I think the whole idea is shit, but

Except for the pigment shitting in the grain, it looks pretty good.
Look at the inside of the left front leg (probably two sides of all
legs). That's why I hate stain. I wish guys would fume (when
possible) or use dye instead of stain.

I tried it on scrap once but didn't keep it. For years, I was going
to build an A&C sofa but finally realized that it wouldn't have been
comfortable, so I never made it. Unlike youse guys, I haven't built
much furniture (but neither have -any- of our customers, huh, guys?)
I've seen a lot of "finish abuse" locally and here on the Wreck. Your
work could improve, too, moving to dye v. pigmented stain, if you must
discolor your work. :/

I've built wooden things, just not furniture for clients, 'cept a
kitchen cart. They specified a product I hate Minwhacked Polyshades. I
refuse to use it again unless extremely well paid. I'll spray it prior
to assembly, too. <goddamnedRBSanyway>

Hmmm, all the gel stains I've seen have been made with pigments. It
has probably been 6-7 years since I last looked, though.
But telling the nuances of a wood finish from a picture on a computer
is far from easy, so don't climb too far up on that high horse, eh?

Actually Larry all of the work that I have mentioned here in the last
two years has been dyed, not stained. I really can't tell the
difference and apparently you cant either. ;~)
The only difference I see is in the application, much easier and
potentially much messier.
