first project - Woodworking Talk

43longtime · 10-15-2008, 09:18 PM

Well this is my first project that I made like a couple of mouths ago.

Has a lot of meaning to me, because I cut my thumb working on this, so I wanted to make it look as good as I could possibly make it.

It is maid out of oak plywood for the top with a v-grove solid oak face frame.
Solid oak legs.

what do you think of it.

that is a good looking, solid project. nice tight joints, even color and nice looking finish. And practical, too, it looks. All in all I'd say a great project and a great job for a beginner. Good on you.

Verry impressive for a first project. Getting plywood and hardwood to color the same is not always easy. The condtruction looks solid and I can't even see the blood stains. Great job. I can't wait to see your second project.

Nice job!!!! Looks fantastic. Is this the point where we start another thread about how members get blood stains out of their projects?

Keep up the great work.
