Consol Table (CT116)

Creating a console table made from MDF (Medium-Density Fiberboard) with a veneer finish and a PU (Polyurethane) paint can be a great DIY project or something to commission from a furniture maker. Here are the steps involved in making such a console table:

Materials you’ll need:

MDF Sheets: MDF is an ideal choice for constructing the core of your console table due to its smooth surface and ease of cutting and shaping.
Veneer: Choose a veneer that complements your design preferences, as this will be applied to the visible surfaces of the MDF to create an attractive finish.
Polyurethane (PU) Paint: PU paint is a durable and water-resistant finish that can be applied over the veneer to protect and enhance its appearance.
Design and plan: Decide on the size, shape, and design of your console table. Sketch out the dimensions and design elements you want to incorporate.

Cut MDF pieces: Use your cutting tools to cut the MDF sheets into the desired components of the table, such as the top, sides, and legs. Ensure accurate measurements and smooth edges.

Assemble the MDF components: Use wood glue and screws to attach the MDF pieces together, forming the basic structure of the console table. Reinforce joints as needed.

Apply veneer: Cut the veneer to size and use adhesive to apply it to the exposed surfaces of the MDF. Make sure to follow manufacturer instructions for applying the adhesive and veneer.
Mount hardware (if necessary): Attach any handles or knobs to the console table, and your project is complete.

This DIY project allows you to create a custom console table with a sleek MDF core, a veneer finish for aesthetics, and durable PU paint for protection. Be sure to take safety precautions when working with these materials and follow best practices for woodworking and painting.
