A project for my toughest client yet
Stephen Kirk in Quakertown, PA
>I was really hounded to finish this project. Fortunately, I didn't have any problems dogging me along the way. The finish was nice enough to make me howl.
OK, I'll stop there. This little utility piece is made from 1/2" thick red oak. The legs are connected with sliding dovetails. The middle leg I routed from the back and stopped short, so you can't see the dovetail. I had a chunk of wood with a slight bow, but I figured a dog won't notice, so it turned into this. I was able to plane/cut most of the bow out anyway. Finish is Golden Pecan followed by 3 coats of Minwax wipe on Gloss poly (left over from the poker table I posted earlier). No plans for this one, I just made it up as I went. I didn't have the middle leg at first, but I felt the 1/2" oak was a little too weak, so I added it.
And yeah, the dog appears to like it.
