End Table


End Table

Overview and Construction

I built this End table to practice a real piece of furniture. Also this allowed me to practice building drawers. The table is made out of yellow pine. I did not take many pictures during construction. This was a practice piece, so overal it did not come out as nice as I would have liked.

The Piece was finished with:

  • 2 coats Shelack to seal wood.
  • 3 coats of oil based stain. These were allowed to dry for 15 minutes then wiped off.
  • 2 more coats of Shelack, to protect stain.
  • 3 coats of Spar Varnish.
