Refinished a table for a neighbor

Masterfully done, Jeff!

And, you saved some beautiful wood from a terrible fate. Painting QSO is more egregious than painting cherry.

took a good look at your pictures, from one end to the other. Very, very nice job. Great that you restored it saving it from paint that probably would have had it tossed into the trash in less than a year.

I wouldn't be surprised but that turns into a good advertising piece.

did you trace out the leg contours so you could make one like that

a nice looking table in any wood

You did GOOD!

Yeah, that curly grain does not hold paint well. Contact paper should work.

I'm sure she appreciated it.

The identical table is sitting in our entry SWMBO drug in from somewhere. It's in far worse shape than that one started out at and isn't even oak as a redeeming feature. I've not been able to get enough of a vibe off it to even replace the top with something presentable...

Looks great to me. It's all impressive. Good job.

Congratulations, that looks great! Good job.

Hell, yeah! I am still laughing at that one.

Great job! Is that actually your shop? If so, it's too neat and clean. You should sprinkle some shavings around before you make any more pictures.

Thanks everyone. My shop looks like a mess usually. I try to keep my workbenches clear, but at times (during a project) I lose the battle. Then I clean up so I can repeat. I hate it when the bench is full and I can't put work down.. so I try ... to avoid it.

Actually my floors had enough shavings recently that it started being a problem. I have to use a dust pan or shovel when it gets that deep.

But I sweep, I have a floor sweep in the machine room, would like to add one to my hand shop.

No, I wasn't thrilled with the design, only the wood. It felt too delicate. the bottom shelf was held on with screw eyes.

I would have doweled and glued them.
