Quilted Maple Hallway Table

[Roger Barga]

Here is a table I recently completed. The top is quilted maple and the base is African Cherry with an inlay strip. I finished the top following an article in FWW outlining how to pop the curl in figured maple. Basically, apply aniline dye, sand off, apply a contrasting coat of aniline dye, sand off again, and then finish (oil and/or shellac).

cheers,

Great looking table and great finish!

[Dave Brandt]

Man, that's one beautiful table. The figure is outstanding and the delicate lines are perfect. Nicely done!

There are quite a few adjectives I can think of to put in front of "awesome" relative to this project...but youll have to fill in the blanks yourself. Nice job!

[Todd Burch]

Nice choices of woods Roger! I like it!

[Kent Cori]

Roger,

Wow!! That is a beutiful table. I really like how the dual analine dye treatment brought out the quilted grain. The tapered legs really set the top and skirt off nicely.

Roger,

The wood for the top is spectacular, and your finish makes it even more incredible! The design details and scale are also very pleasing. Great job!

I just love figured woods, they really add to the piece.

[Chris Oakley]

Roger, that looks great. How did you attach the top?

[Jason Tuinstra]

Roger, great looking table! The quilt of that maple is fantastic. Nice job.

Roger,

Gorgeous. I posted a "figured maple" gloat last week and now I'd like to hear more about the finish you did to pop the figure. I may not wish to pop it as much as you did but I can experiment and see. Any more details on your finishing technique you'd care to share? Where does one get aniline dyes?

Thanks!

Can't say anything other than this piece left me awestruck. Great job.
