My First End Table Design

Very nice project and a great story! I like the dovetails on your drawers.

Thank you David.

You didn’t say this but, looking at the pictures, I don’t remember the stain being so orange in color, especially since I used Golden Oak. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen it in person though. Maybe the color has just changed over time.

That is a wonderful table. The cats seem to like it too.

An excellent gift. I’m going to talk to my wife about do this for some friends of ours. Thanks for sharing the idea. I hope you don’t mind if I borrow it?

Dr. Sawdust,

You can borrow the idea all you want. Thanks. Good luck with your project.

That’s a beautiful table

I don’t know to do it (at least not those squares and the dovetailed drawer) but if I would, I think that my wife would not give it away as a gift (I know her), especially if she had active part in it.

Very nice work

They must like it if they still have it. I can see that the cats are loving it. Now if your friends change their minds, I’d take it in a heartbeat…It a great job. I like the details you put down on how you made it. Thanks for sharing this wonderful piece of woodworking.

A beautiful table, & heirloom.
The color may be from the lighting. Sometimes the camera causes that affect.

Great piece Bass. That must be a picture of a mouse in that frame on the lower shelf ;-)
Thanks for sharing

Great project. I’ve not seen any posts lately. You still hanging around?

You must be very proud of your work, that it has stood the test of time and moving. I can see that you were very close friends for you and your wife to have taken the time to make this wonderful end table.

Thanks WayneC and oscorner.

To answer your question Wayne, I’ve haven’t posted anything in a while but I have been checking in on the site. About a month ago I finished up some consulting that was in addition to my regular job. I was putting in about 65 hours a week and trying to get things done at home. So, before that, I didn’t have much time to commit to posting anything. Likewise, after the consulting ended, I’m trying to play catchup with my family which is more fun but also taking up time. I’m drawing a picture for my Dad for his birthday. After that, I’m going to work on a floating shelf and carve some wording in it for my wife for our anniversary. Then I’ll be able to submit more.

Glad to hear things are busy but going well. See ya when you have more time.
