Josh, that is one fine looking table. Looks like you got some quilted
cherry. What did you use for finish?

I think the images need to be optimized for dialup users (I grew
impatient waiting).

First of all thank you all for the very kind words.

to Mark and Juanita's finishing question:
The finish started with a coat of a tung oil/varnish blend, then 3
coats of thinned gloss poly that I wiped on the top, and 1 coat of
brushed on satin poly for the apron and legs. Then I buffed everything
with steel wool and wax.

to Al, about making chairs:
I've been asked that a lot, and the answer is no. I've never made a
chair, and I dont believe I'm gonna start any time soon, especially
since I was just forced to dismantle my shop. (we moved, hence the new
dining table as the one last project). But I'm sure we'll run into
some chairs that match well enough.

Phisherman, slow website:
I didn't realize that all those files are about half a meg until you
pointed it out. I'll shrink those down as soon as I get a chance.

Just beautiful, Josh. And you didn't stain or poly it. Kudos!
Well done. And for the next 4 years you'll be making a full set
of matching chairs, oui?

In a word......cherry. Cherry now and cherry later. Always the most
noble of all woods, IMHO.
Good job, Josh.

Be sure you post it again after you paint it. Are you going to do it all
one color or are you going to make the skirt and legs a darker color?

Aside from creating a cherry shortage and driving up the prices for the rest
of us, it looks damned nice the way it is. Maybe you can get away without
the paint.
