This is the finished product and the detailed drawing that she submitted. She wanted it to look like a "new antique" whatever that is. The frame is M&T'ed pine and poplar and the top is clear pine. It took me over an hour to find the 4 boards that make up the top at the local HD. The black finish is flat black spray paint rubbed out with a green Scotchbrite pad and then buffed out with a rough towel. These pictures don't show the full effect and it looks much nicer on a wood with an open grain like oak. Give it a try on a piece of scrap sometime. You may just like it enough to use it on something you create.
Thanks for looking.
