When we decided to make another center table DIY, it wasn’t for our own use. We thought it was perfect gift for a house warming ceremony. This time around we applied all our learning from the earlier making of our own center table to come out with an almost perfect table.
The materials and tools used were the same as in the center table DIY. However,
- we used Padauk wood for the legs this time.
- We additionally used chalk powder and paste filler to attain the smooth finish for the plywood sides, which was missing in the earlier center table (the multiple layers of plywood was visible).
- We decided on a smaller table (2 feet by 2 feet) to suit the living room dimensions.
- Also, we went for the dual color finish to retain the natural look of the OST layer.

We also additionally used a painter's masking tape to be able to get sharp paint lines between the top surface and the adjoining edges. The tape also help in preventing bleeding of varnish, which in most cases is difficult to remove once dried.
HI
ReplyDeleteI am a wood working enthusiast but taken it seriously as hobby after retirement. I am striving hard to achieve perfection. But my primary aim is to use only hand-tools apart from an electric drill. I appreciate your articles and practical hints. Waiting for more projects from you. I am not still in a position to publish one.
