New project is almost finished

I'm hoping to finish my latest super secret project this weekend.  It's already built, but due to the special color requested, I had to use paint instead of stain. Taking longer to finish than expected. I hate painting wood! Here is a quick teaser of part of it in the nude. (the wood, not me)  stay tuned for the finished product 

New Coffee Table

So this was my first REAL piece of furniture that I made. I have made and built others before, I will share them with you later, but this was the one that I consider to be my first. I followed designs, found on www.Ana-White.com , for the basic table frame. I had to modify it slightly to better fit our space. The table top Was my own design and felt it was appropriate for our style. Hope you all enjoy! Check out the original plans here: http://ana-white.com/content/tryde-coffee-table

Start with wood and coffee

Then build something in no particular order

Somehow the basic frame was created

Created table top using pockethole screws, glue and clamps

Put them both together

All these pics are of the fininishing process. Couple coats of oak stain, lightly sanded after and a top coat of semi-gloss lacquer (which smells really bad)
