    Default Kitchen Table

    My latest project for the Missus,
    Tabletop is a slab of Bloodwood (relative of Jarah apparently). The rest is Jarrah which I have added stain to get even colour.
    The finish is organoil with the top wet sanded to 2000 grit then waxed and rubbed with 0000 steel wool. I used car bog and black oxide to fill the sap holes and other imperfections which sanded nicely and accepted the oil as well.

    Anyone got a good chair design ??

    Table does look nice Al, but I have to rain on your parade a bit - you STAINED Jarrah :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

    Col: A bit of help needed here wrt the Code: Shouldn't it proscribe staining precious timbers, and any such violation be met with the severest penalties

    Great table Al - love that slab!

    Which Organoil did you use - their hard burnishing oil? Looks great & I'm sure it feels great, too, with the oiled finish!

    Cheers,

    Jill

    Default Yes I used stain on jarrah

    The cross rail and some of the frame were significantly lighter after dressing the timber so I darkened it down some to even out the colour.

    Yes I made the dresser as well.

    I used the hard burnishing oil and it feels silky to the touch.

    Thanks for all the positive responses

    Nice work Al, I do like the filler that you used - makes a good feature, I also like the curved top, well done.

    Cheers,
    Daniel

    Thumbs up

    Quality work mate and there is nothing wrong with the buffet either.

    Don't stain Jarrah next time. It is illegal.
