Shaker End Table - Work in Progress


The table is almost done. Over President's Day Weekend, I glued up the top, made the drawer, and assembled all of the pieces. The edge profile on the top is a "thumbnail" which can just barely be seen in the photo.

The table
needs a few minor adjustments, a final sanding, and then a finish. I will probably use a clear satin wipe-on gel varnish which will let the cherry darken naturally over time.

For more information about this project, see postings dated Dec. 25, 2006 and Jan. 8, 2007. The most challenging part involved turning the legs.
