Update on Coffee Padouk Table

I wrote about this interesting coffee table and the wood it is made out of in an earlier post and I thought you might all like an update. You can read the earlier post here... http://furniturecraftsman.blogspot.com/2012/07/african-padouk-coffee-table.html The work on this coffee table has been completed and it looks beautiful!

We used a Teak stain which is dark brown in color.  The red still shows through clearly, but the brown of the teak mellows it out and gives it a richer quality.  A Satin sheen finish was applied over the top which gives a subtle luster but isn't excessively reflective.  What a lovely completed look for this very interesting wood.
