BLACK LACQUER DINING TABLE

This table gets rotated in while tables are taken to be refinished.

It is constructed of poplar and took about 10 hours to completely build. I did not spend time on mortise and tenon. I used pocket hole screws to join the aprons to the legs and also added corner braces.

This will be interesting to see how the joinery holds up in a commercial use area. I slammed this table out as fast as I could with materials in the shop.

I did add adjustable feet on the bottom for about $5.

Poplar wood is soft so it is already taking a beating on the surface, but the finish is holding up quite well. I used ML Campbell's MagnaMax satin and Sherwin Williams BAC wiping stain and brown aniline dye to get the deep color. It achieved a rich dark brown and covered up the green tones inherent of poplar wood.

Again, I forgot to ask his name. I always ordered Ice Coffee while visiting Kluang Railway Coffee. It taste like no others. They brew their own coffee bean. Thats the secret..

Anyway, this uncle was sitting just next to the coffee mixer table.
