Bison Trade Table

A friend of mine asked me if I could refinish this coffee table that his parents had gotten for him in Singapore years back. He didnt want to just throw it out, even though the glass inlay was broken, parts of the base were chewed and basically the whole table was just a disaster! So I said sure thing, I'll see what I can do. After thoroughly examining this bad-boy I rethought my decision to refinish it, but figured, hey, I've got it, might as well see what I can do. It turned out to be only wood on top and the legs, so restaining, which he wanted, was not an option. But I was able to stain the top and painted the base a deep black after filling in a bunch of scrapes and chewed off pieces. Turned out pretty great if I do say so myself! Oh...and I traded him in bison meat! mmmm
