My brother found some Rookwood tiles on ebay and asked me to make a table for them. He likes arts and crafts furniture, but wanted something original. It was fun trying to be creative but still stay within the arts and crafts style.

Is that a clear finish over white oak? Or is there some fuming involved...?
