In this episode I demonstrate finishing a curly maple Tilt-top Table. Curly maple can be stunningly beautiful and finished a number of ways. I’ll show you my favorite method, which produces a rich warmth, depth, and fine antique quality. Also you'll get a first look at the new Outdoor Bench plans, just in time for a seasonal build you can absolutely do!

Great video, Tom. I'm really enjoying the Shop Night Live videos. Thanks so much for continuing these videos.
Thanks, I appreciate hearing that and glad you enjoy them. You might be able to tell I’m having a good time too...just looking forward to the day technology allows me to see you as well 😎
Another Great video. Thank you!
I just found this video. The answer to the question about flamed maple is that you're looking at it in your table. There are different grades like AAA, AAAA AAAAA the higher grade the more figure and higher cost per piece.
I am veneering some speaker cabinets with fiddleback. I wanted to do iron oxide and blush then oil/hard wax finish. Can't blush the veneer because it would delaminate. I'm considering an analine dye then oil hard wax. I like how you added the antique look with the glaze. I'm not experienced enough to know if this will work with a oil hard wax type finish?
Tom if I were lacquering a tiger maple dining table..would I seal coat before lacquering or would you apply lacquer after dying?
I would go straight with the lacquer, the seal coat is not necessary. A lot of lacquer sprayers start with a vinyl sanding sealer as it builds the early coats faster and has additives that make it sand easily. But starting and building with the lacquer alone will get you pretty much the same results in the end. 👍
Tiger, flamed, fiddleback all are the same thing just different names. It's common to maple but other woods can do it as well there is another figure called quilting which is different but interesting as well.
Thanks Guy. I’ve always heard tiger and curly used interchangeably, and fiddleback describing the very best grades of tiger...usually reserved for instrument making. But I have never heard the term “flamed” used as a term to describe the same thing...the others being more striped in pattern, and flame usually associated with crotch-like figure. Whatever the case, they could all be accurately described as beautiful! 👍😎
Crotch or crotch like figure would look more like quilted not flame. I'm not sure what exactly causes the flaming, but it seems to be the bigger the tree the more likely it will have flaming. Maybe from weight and compression. I've seen both flaming and quilting in the same tree
Yes, I think it depends whether birch or maple is being described. I was forgetting the wider banded “curly-like” figure in birch is always referred to as flamed. While curly, tiger, and fiddleback seem to be reserved for the tighter curled figure occurring in maple. And I’m not sure why in cherry, I’ve always heard the wider banded curl described as “ropey” not flamed. 😎
Just did a lot of work with Fiddleback, but it’s a wee bit tough to get in Southwest Florida !
Yes, I can imagine! That’s one of the nice things about using it in veneer form, easy to get exceptional material and have it sent right to you for a very reasonable price. Thanks for watching John! 👍😎
