    Default Done

    The craft table is done. There are about 70+ hours of carving time in the various 40 or so pieces. Most of the images were scanned in with the scan probe and arranged in the "scenes" with lettering and patterning from the standard CW 1.187 designer software. The poplar was sanded, primed and painted "Old Brick" undercoat and a dark green overcoat. The undercoat is exposed (distressed) in wear locations with 500 sandpaper and then everything coated with a water based satin polyurethane. I had hoped for a marble top, but $$$$ was way too high so the top ended up two layers of 3/4" MDF, granite look Formica and hard wood edges. The table is heavy, about 300 lbs or so. Two layers of felt on the bottom of the legs allows the table to be moved on the wood floor with some effort.

    Still can't figure out how to keep those darn pictures right side up though.

    Ron,

    The pictures are of low resolution and do not look good when enlarged.
    I turned then over, but it would be better if you supplied larger images.

    Otherwise, very nice work.

    So glad you posted a picture of the finished table. If I had the room for something that big I'd drive right over and pick it up....
