Company Name: Sheldon Fine FurnitureIt's been a bit of time but I thought I would post it here to get some feedback. This was the first time I used this wood, and was amazed at its figure and beauty. It was made out of Quarter-Sawn African Sapele. The mitered top was done with again, Sapele and Lyptus, with an accent border of Ash. As always, dovetailed drawers on a unique drawer glide system I developed while designing this piece.

Very nice table. I love that wood. I will have to try some of that one of these days.

Thanks, it's an amazing wood to work with. I was up at woodcraft and couldn't help myself. It's one of those woods you have to see wet or finished to see the rays and strings of grain change. It's a pretty reasonable price to work with too and great for building furniture. It cuts very well even considering it being such a dense wood.

I was just wondering what you used to finish the table?
Thanks,

Wow. I'm going blind...
I just reread the post, and saw that you said you just clear coated it. You can disregard the last comment...
Very nice table though. I am definitely going to have to try to work with some Sapele sometime soon.
Great job,
