Coffee table set before and after

I fell in love this set as soon as I saw it two weeks ago at a sale in Hebron. The scrolled curved apron on the coffee table is lovely. I knew it was really really good pine and would sand beautifully. As soon as I sanded the top, as I could see that it was some of the best wood grain I'd found in a while. I did this set custom for a client. They choose Benjamin Moore's Bayou Blue for the sides, and we did Minwax's pickled oak stain, then poly on the top. I love the blue. It's so saturated and delicious. I waxed and buffed all the painted surfaces to give them a subtle shine and to protect the paint. I think they turned out so fresh and bold, very summery.

I think pine is my favorite wood to work on...though I really like maple too...and oak lol.
