I still have to condition it and oil it and find a top for it but you can get the picture.
In retrospect there are quite a few things I would do differently after learning to use some tools in the shop but that's how you learn right?
I'm also sad to say that I missed out on a great craigslist piece. It was posted last week but I was working towards a deadline so I didn't even think of checking craigslist. My mind was on maximizing sleep. Are you wondering what it is?

It was a brass Sarreid chest. It was $100. It retails for a few thousand... sigh.
But....... dahn dahn dahn (suspense music) .... I did find a great mid-century china cabinet on saturday! It didn't fit in my car so it is still at the shop. The boy and I are renting a uhaul van on friday and bringing the baby home. It was manufactured by Drexel and it's a sought after line designed by KS and SD. Oh.. and it has ceramic pulls!
Any guesses?
I love that table! What type of wood is it? Are you thinking just a rounded tempered glass top? Very cool to design and make your own furniture, brings back my high school wood shop class.
ReplyDeleteI love your table design! It looks amazing!!! Kudos to you and can't wait to see the finished piece :-)

Thanks ladies! It is black walnut so once I oil it it'll be a rich brown. hehe... i also took woodshop in highschool but I made a not so cute bookshelf. As for the top i was thinking of a rounded glass .. but i have a couple of other ideas that are a little bit more complicated...
ReplyDeleteok, #1 - incredible job on the handmade table. i'm pleased w/myself when i make a potholder. but to make a table? outta my league, baby. bravo to you.
ReplyDelete#2 - i know what you scored regarding the ol' china cabinet and i might be green with envy. i won't spoil it by naming names. again, bravo bravo.
