Well they aren't much and the table isn't done yet. I still am going to put some crown on the base under the top so it will fill everything out. And I'll either finish it with tung oil or lacquer. I sprayed the cabinet with lacquer. I'll put I think 4 coats on and I'll finish the top with black bison paste wax and buff it off with my polisher afterwards. I'll keep posting some pictures here and there. Oh and for Michael I'll also post some of those pictures with the CNC and paint so you get an idea of what it looks like.

J-Rod: What do you mean they arent much? That table looks awesome you have a good eye for picking out woods that compliment each other, are you going to use Blum drawer slides? And I see now what you were talking about with the paint , it looks good I am going to have to try that myself!Cant wait to see the table finished , keep up the good work J-Rod!!:)

Thanks a lot. and for the drawer runners I have installed, I used KV 3/4 extension. They were what we had left from the hardware company my teacher ordered them from. But they do the job.

I made a small mistake on the drawers but I made it work. I used half-blind dovetails for them out of 1/2" maple.

I'm going to put 3 1/2" crown on the underside of the table. It'll make it looks a lot better.

Ya and good luck with the paint on the CNC. I really like when I do it. maybe you can use like a goldleaf paint or just a good rust-oleum paint. Good luck with it.

Well I finished the 3 drawer cabinet. I'm thinking about making a few adj. shelves for it though or making one side with the shelves and the other with a wine rack out of 2 pieces of plywood with a dado down the center to make an "X" I'm still not sure. I'm also working on a Nakashima style Elm Burl table now. That should turn out pretty sweet but I'm not sure what type of finish I'll put on that one yet.
