I am a very new at this. Started building pieces only a couple of years ago. This is my 5th piece and I really would like to know what do you think of it, the design and everything else.
The table is veneered of course, the veneer is figured gaboon. For the inside of the circle I bleached the veneer and dyed it golden/yellow. The finish is water based lacquer, which I brushed. It took the longest time to finish it and I don’t know how many coats I applied.
