Since I have developed a love for period furniture, I decided I was going to start building some QueenAnne style furniture for my family room. It started with the “Princess” dressing table. The first item I built in this style was the sofa table. Since I am using rough cut cherry I wanted to showcase the beautiful imperfections in the grains and make them shine. The table is 20 inches wide and 51 inches long. I decided not to put the drop finials on this table because of the kids on the holidays, ( I didn’t see them lasting very long). I finished it with General Finishes vintage cherry dye stain and two coats of a one pound cut garnet shellac and a water based poly top coat.
