Thank you for your interest and for taking a closer look at my work. I am constantly looking to improve as a woodworker, and would certainly welcome any comments or feedback you might have — on this piece or any one of my other gallery submissions here on FWW.

Your two recent tables are beautiful. I am working on some maple burl slabs for knife display stands. Did you add any type of dye to darken the grain or just start with the oil. I have about 4 test blocks in various stages of finish before I tackle for my first real one. I've used Waterlox, then dye in Waterlox, gel stain under Waterlox and other formulas. Some I like, some I don't. What you have done here is the exact darker look I'm going for. The burl slabs I have are beautiful and full of figure so I don't want to screw them up.

@mwschilling Hey, Mark -- here's a link to the finishing process/schedule I used on both, the Roosevelt Bourbon + Cigar Tables. Appreciate the compliment and thanks for your interest. Hope this helps -- let me know how it goes.
