I also have to figure out what I’m going to do for the shelf. As I was at my parents house last weekend delivering my dad’s table (which he loved it by the way) I was helping in his shop. In the scrap bin I found these:

So now I have to decide which will work best, the shelf I’ve already started on and is almost finished or one of the above boards.

SWMBO said that I could only build a table if the wood choice matched the bedroom furniture (The Wife’s Dresser). So sorry Obi, but it is going to be made out of pine. I decided to add some Cedar for a contrasting wood

Just to do something different I went with a brick laid pattern.

This is the top glued up and the bread board ends attached, along with the aprons and a few other pieces.

Unfortunately as a school teacher I have to start getting my students ready for the end of year testing. That’s going to take up a lot of my time for the next couple weeks, so I don’t know how much more I’ll get done for awhile.
