Reclaimed Maple Burl Wood table.
Measures 36in x 40in x 2.25in. 28in tall.
This burl had been a table at some time in the past and was showing its years of use. It had been sitting in the rafters of a shop in lake tahoe Nevada for at least 30 years.
Refinishing the top took a bit of time and effort, I do these projects occasionally when I find a unique piece and time.
First I stripped the remains of old finish, removed the bark that remained on the burl. The wood had s...ome great features but was quite dark in spots, so I treated it with a bleach solution to bring back some of the original color.
After sanding I treated it with a 3 stage stain process. Using washes of denatured alcohol and dye stains. Base stain is Cherry, mid stage is burnt umber and final stage is dark mahogany.
Final finish is oil to bring out the character of the burl. Three coats of shellac hand scraped in between each coat. Final finish is 3 coats of denatured shellac knife scraped and sanded between each coat.
The base is a very nice cast piece that i had powdercoated satin black.
I have been a contractor and cabinetmaker for quite a few years, bringing pieces like this back to life is something that calls my inner artist on occasion. I hope you enjoy having this piece in your home as much as I enjoyed bringing it back to the light of day.
