Zebra and Stainless Coffee Table Finished

[Mark Singer]

I finished the table today ....in a few days I will give it a coat of wax....The model in the backround is nude except for his collar....this was an expensive shoot with Dexters' day rate ....

[Roy Wall]

Dexter's done good!!!! I helped negotiate the deal for him

Java must be jealous.........

The table is beautiful.

[Brad Schmid]

Wow Mark,
The table turned out beautiful as always, and as expected
Well done

[Steve Jensen]

I love the table. Where did you get the stainless leg hardware?

[Dan Larson]

Mark,

The table looks great! Very cool miter joinery detail... thanks for your explanation in the earlier thread. Funny how some dogs love to have their pictures taken... our furry guy always manages to sneak in to every shot.

Here are a few more pics....Dexter has gone home for the day and the cost has gone way down

This was a fun project and requires some careful techniques and planning....a lot can go wrong and it all will show....so you just go step by step and soon....before you can say zebra.... its done!

A friend of mine, Frank Smart , has made metal hardware for me for many years... He does terrific work!

[John Michaels]

All I can say is wow! That is one really beautiful table! Excellent craftmanship.

[Jim Becker]

Stunning, Mark. And Dexter seems to approve in his "own way"...

BTW, does the Zebra wood get a little darker over time or is it somewhat color stable? I've never worked with it outside of one pen turning a few years ago.

[Steven Herbin]

I have a nice piece of Zebrawood in stock.

Now I know what I'm going to do with it!

... but I doubt I can come close to this kind of quality final product!

Fabulous work!

Thanks for the super comments!
The finish is 4 coats of Daly's Ben Matte wet sanded with 400 wet and dry paper. The final coat was not wet sanded. I may give it one more coat since the softer wood in the zebra still looks a little dull from certail angles. Wax will probably take care of it...I need to wait a couple of days to wax it.
