I finally finished up a project that has been on hold since last winter. This is my first "real" project of my own design.... It's QS White Oak, and I somewhat followed Jeff Jewitt's dye and gel stain finishing schedule. Being fairly new to woodworking, there were many learning experiences along the way. First time designing a piece of furniture from scratch, and using a dado blade, and making legs with all four sides showing QS grain, and with inset drawers and doors, and using dye, and gel stain, and spraying shellac, and the list goes on and on. All in all I think it turned out OK, just wish I had these experiences before I started!
I don't mind suggestions and productive criticism. I want to learn! I couldn't get the camera to get the color right but oh well...
