To finish the coffee tables I needed some helpers... ok, their mom needed fifteen minutes of peace in the house so they came to help me.
There weren't many cool pictures to take of the actual assembly.
I cut the top out of maple veneer plywood. Then I cut three straight pieces and one bendy piece to build a collar frame around the table. Then I attached the legs.
Then it was time for Lacquer. I used a nice yellow for the base color.
Then, on top of the yellow, we used a Burnt Umber Glaze.
Finally, since these tables are meant to be used in a family area, we added about eleven coats of clear lacquer. It dries rock hard and makes a good, durable finish.
And delivered to their rightful place...
