This big sleek coffee table was once a pedestal dining table. Modified down from it's original stature, it is now the focal point of any social living space. After being stripped, sanded, and the grain stripped, this table was drenched in general finishes georgian cherry and black gel stains. To give this beautiful oak veneer a little more pop, briwax ebony wax was used to fill the grain, followed by briwax clear wax for added protection and buffed to a satin sheen. Waterlox original was used on the pedestal, legs, and rim to provide lasting protection and a gorgeous shine.

I am a happy small town country girl living with my 2 year old son, Lucius and my husband, Matthew in Winchester, IN. We live on a few small acres enjoying the greater things of farm living. When I'm not spending time with them, I am enjoying working towards my passion of all things woodcraft. I'm currently a furniture refinisher and enjoy telling the story of another craftsmans work through new eyes. Pieces that need a lot of love and restoration pull at my heart strings, but also encourage movement in a positive direction towards woodworking. I never really new my true passion was woodworking until I started restoring old pieces that needed modifications and refabrications. It has lit a fire deep within me that can't be put out. Becoming a craftsman of fine furnishings will complete my american dream.
