I've attached a pic of what I want to make Here's my thoughts Through tennons top and bottom with thinner middle rail Matchboards with tennons top and bottom but using floating tennons down the lengths rather than using tongue and groove Silicone to seal the joints rather than glue - for...

Thanks folks for the info - I have used Burr Elm in the past without issue but I guess the boards I used were much smaller. Anybody any recommendations on wood type - the customer wants the richness of the Elm (without the burr as it happens) Some character but not too rustic - Blimey some...

Thanks Carl

I have a customer who wants a coffee table 24inchs by 62 inches. Live edge on two sides - no joins! Does anybody know of any wood yards who might be able to sell me a slab of wych Elm? Any help would be appreciated Cheers Steve

Thanks Mrpercy

Forgot to ask - is the ammonia in equal measure to the peroxide? Does the peroxide have a % strength?

Thanks for that - sounds simple enough. Personally I'd give it half a dozen coats of good poly but these people are quite specific and I suppose it's good to try something new

Hi - I've been asked to make a table with a scrubbed beech top. Can anybody give me brief description on how to do this - never done it before! Thanks folks

Spot on - as long as the drawers sit flush at the front - it doesnt really matter whats happening at the back

Im surprised nobody on here has volunteered their services. To be honest Im not really too concerned where you are - if you want me to look at it and give you a price, Id be only too pleased. Contact me through my website listed below Cheers Steve

OOOOOOHHHH I like Im imagining the cleats to be drawer width - a couple of pocket holes - and screwed to the underside of the table. Thanks for that

Imagine if you will a large coffee table. Its more or less just a slab of wood sat on some crossed steel metal legs. The customer wants a couple of drawers fitted to the underneath. Anybody got any good ideas on design?

yeah right thanks :roll:

Lovely finish there Jon Very neat and clean - Im not a big fan of raised panels - they just look a bit dated to me - but your flush finish makes for a very contempory look Like it!!

Some photos would be very helpful - Ive got a hall piece to make and I like the idea of cabinet doors with a flush panel made from Spalted beech and rails/stiles in oak but with a subtle gap which wont move around too much. What did you make the floating tenons out of?

Have I imagined this? I seem to think Ive read somewhere about a method of making flush panelled cabinet doors using a separate tongue. The way I remember it both the panel and the frame were rebated and a strip of wood was used to join the pieces. Not sure Ive explained this very well :roll:

Ok thanks for that - not sure I fancy going down the brush route though. Im just not into brush marks.

Just about to make a dining table with a Spalted beech top. Normally for smaller pieces of furniture I just use Colron Finishing oil. Wipe on wipe off but it does tend to drag a bit when buffing. I cant imagine buffing a large dining table but I still want a soft sheen finish - what would...
