This is a Limbert copy table from plans in a recent issue of Wood Magazine. Wood is quartersawn White Oak. It is almost ready for fuming with Ammonia.
I plan to fume the wood before gluing to make sure as much of the wood is exposed as possible.



The fuming tent is made from 1x2s with 6mil plastic sheet. A clear plastic sheet will be used for the front "door" to be able to see the progress of the ammonia coloration.
I found a good source of ammonia in New Jersey, just south of Camden: WD Service, 780 Creek Road, Bellmawr, NJ (856-931-6100). They will ship UPS. Of course a mask with ammonia filters, goggles and gloves are required for the fuming process.
