The reason behind this project is the coffee table was replaced with a side board unit to put my wood turnings so had to make something for my better half to put her coffee on.

The finish was sanded to 400 grit two coats of sand another rub with 400 then two coats of wax. I got to practice on the photo's as mine dont seem to do my turnings justice. Thanks Paul.
