Making A Walnut Sideboard / Buffet Table | Woodworking

Hello, and welcome back to The Roaring Woodwork. In this video, I make a buffet that I designed in Sketchup for some friends.

I keep my posts as educational as possible, and don't do any sponsored posts. I have essentially learned what I know about woodworking through YouTube and Instagram, so I try to put helpful information back into the community.

The Domino XL was an awesome tool to use on this buffet. But, it does get repetitive after a while. I've recently been more drawn to traditional joinery and am beginning to incorporate it into my designs. I'll never get rid of my Domino, but like all other things in the shop, there is more than one way to make nice, tight joints.

The finish I used is Rubio Monocoat in the "Pure" option, which is basically like any other oil-based finish in terms of color. The oil brings out a nice warm tone in the walnut. One major benefit is that you only need to apply one coat. They do recommend sanding between 120 and 150 grit, but I sanded to 220 and it worked just fine. I applied the finish with a squeegee so that I wouldn't soak up any excess finish with a towel or foam applicator. Good to the last drop!
