Woodwork and Finish Tips for Dining Table

    Joinery

    • Furniture joinery can be as basic as adhesives or as skillfully crafted as dovetail. Some joints are so strong in design that they do not require any adhesives. Basic butt joints with adhesives are usually what are seen in discount-store furniture, because it is the quickest and cheapest method to build furniture. Artisan joinery has been appreciated for thousands of years, because of its simple demonstration of how furniture is pieced together by interlocking the wood. The main woodworking tip is to focus on the type of joinery you will incorporate in the table design and make it a goal to not use any adhesives. Instead use clever, attractive wood joinery to add subtle elegance to the central focus of your dining room.

    Stains

    • Water-based, nontoxic eco-stains offer quality, semi-transparent, fast-curing flat finishes that work well in adding color to wood surfaces. Its durable staining power is recommended for dining room tables that typically receives a good amount of use. Because eco-stains are environmentally friendly, they contain no formaldehyde and are a healthier product to have near food. Be careful of raising wood grain, which happens when wood is too wet and the grain absorbs water and becomes more textured. It is a common occurrence with water-based stains. You can lessen the risk of this by first moistening the wood with a damp cloth. After the wood is fully dry, finish it with the stain and sand it using fine sandpaper.

    Lacquer

    • Eco-lacquers provides a clear, glossy finish. These lacquers are usually available in a satin finish. They are water-based and can substitute for high-solvent lacquers. They resists stains and fingerprints, plus they are strong and durable. The finish will protect the wood from liquid and food stains. Lacquer that is sprayed on provides the best result. Make sure to wear a face mask and ventilate the room. If you apply it with a brush, brush it on with speed along the grain. Application should be with a natural-bristle brush.
