Herringbone Buffet

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Tue, 10/01/2019 - 21:11

We wanted a large buffet for our hall and these plans were perfect. We modified the design to fit our needs, and painted the buffet a wonderful pop color that matched some accents throughout the house.

What really brought the project together was the herringbone top. We used 7 different species of wood sealed with poly and then finished with wax.

Estimated Time Investment
Weekend Project (10-20 Hours)
Finish Used
Sealed the painted sides with a clear polyacrylic. Since we used so many different types of wood on the top we decided to let their natural tones shined and just cleaned with mineral spirits and sealed with polyeurethane. We used steel wool and wax to get to the sheen we wanted.
