thorsen side table

Project by cassy posted 916 days ago 460 views 0 times favorited 23 comments Add to Favorites Watch

After many days of hand sanding the table is finally ready.The table is made soley of Ironwood,the top is two pieces to make it appear like bredboard ends I routed out the top,bottom,and sides.The legs are just something I thought of when I first heard of the challenge,thought I would try it to see how it came out.I think the finish came out pretty good considering it was from a can.Hope you enjoy my version of the table.

Interesting take on the breadboard. I like the legs. They remind me of the cut outs in the apron of the “original”.

good work, and in a week before the deadline, I’m impressed.

I’ve not seen anything from Ironwood before. How did you settle on that as your unique wood choice?

Great looking table! I really like how the top looks – especially how the grain pattern is continuous. Interesting method! I also like your intepretation of the legs.

Great design concept! I love the legs and the idea of routing the table top to look like it was breadboarded is an interesting one.

Really nice, & I like the legs they’re unique. That must have taken an awful lot of routing on the top, but it sure looks great. Good Luck!

Mark,Bill,Paul, and others interested in knowing Ironwood comes from South Africa,my reason for choosing this wood is because of the colors that are naturally in the wood,I do not know if you can see very well in the picturesbut there is a variation of color from light green to medium red with black grain pattern. The legs were made by routing out the middle on all four sides a little at a time ,until the desired thickness was reached in the middle.Hope this helps.

There should be an edit link near the top right side of the page. Click edit and then you should be able to edit the tags.
