RANA Posted November 18, 2017 Report Share Posted November 18, 2017 Hello, i want to make a table stand just like the one in the picture. I was wondering what type of wood and finish do I have to use ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstroDave Posted November 18, 2017 Report Share Posted November 18, 2017 Not sure I can offer any sage advice on finish and wood but...Please use a coaster! Also, I I would alter the design to have the remote on the side so I don't have to reach around the table. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dknapp34 Posted November 18, 2017 Report Share Posted November 18, 2017 Hard to tell on my phone but that looks like stained pine. You can do better. Use walnut and a wiping varnish like arm r seal or minwax wipe on poly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chet Posted November 18, 2017 Report Share Posted November 18, 2017 Yes, that looks like pine with a walnut stain. Pine is an inexpensive way to build it but will dent and damage easily because it is a soft wood. But if you can find some that is decent looking, straight and not warped or twisted, and if this is a first project it can be a good way to build some skills with out making a big monetary investment. If you can't find any that is nice and straight it can be frustrating to work with. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronn W Posted November 18, 2017 Report Share Posted November 18, 2017 You didn't mention your experience level, so please don't take offense. That looks like a great project for learning. If you want to challenge youself further you can enhance the joints by using mortise and tenon joints or dados for the shelves. Have fun. I like it.
