Thorsen Side Table Challenge- I had to...challenge01

Omitting the self deprecating review of your table, I have to say, it’s a really nice entry and a really nice interpretation of the design. It’s supposed to have other parts? Jeez, it sure looks good to me. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks Mot, it’s will eventually have stretchers and a bottom shelf and about 40 more dowels in it. I just ran out of time.

Obi, Mate, this is a fine entry. No need to make apologies – I’d love to have a table like this. The Hickory is a beaut timber – haven’t seen it in Ozz.

Nice work.

Looks great to me the way it is Obi. I like the grain pattern on the top. It adds to the “flavor” of the piece. I was unsure of how I would like it when you first described you choice of woods weeks ago. Now, I feel like that Life commercial ” he likes, he really liikes it.” Good work man! (great kiss up to the PW guy by the way ;) Be sure and take pictures of the new shop and share when things settle down a bit. I can only imangine your frustration with it all. Take care and watch out for splinters.

Obi: Great table. I love the Hickory and Walnut. The sawmill was cutting hickory the other day. I guess I’ll have to have him save me some.

Congratulations on finishing.

Nice wood choice…nothing wrong with this at all Obi…I’d be happy to wipe on a finish and call it done. Love the top grain.

Well I still have a few hours til deadline… I’m in the shop doweling, glueing sanding, and might even have enough time to throw a finish on it

Great table Obi. Especially given the move and new shop.

Still doweling and gluing for the deadline tomorrow

Obi, I love the tops grain patterns. It’s really nice to see a light color wood which you can see the grain so well. Good luck!

That Hickory is sure beautiful. I think everyone that enters this challenge are winners. We wouldn’t have had these nice tables.
It’s nice just as is Obi. Good Luck !!

it’s BEAUTIFUL !!!!
Who needs a little shelf, anyway!
Well done Obi – especially with the move and your technical difficulties thrown in.

It looks good Obi, if I hadn’t read the description I would have thought you were finished.

-- remember always measure once and cut twice

Way to go Obi. A nice table as is. The woods have a nice contrast, and the lines are sleek without the extra stretchers.

Yeah…looks just fine to me right now!

Your $100 board looks good, Obi. I’m glad you were able to make an entry with all the work you had. ;^)

-- Jesus is Lord!

Very nice entry. You can keep off the cloud lifts. I like it.

Way to use up that Hunnerd Dollar board on a free magazine subscription… my board was free… oh wait, but all those hours and hours weren’t. ;) Nevermind.

What a great challenge you and Karson got started!

I think Imma take the top off of it and remove the aprons and redo it… ( I really messed up one of the aprons, but I can fix it)

It looks beautiful as is. Great job.

very nice hunnerd dollar board table. Out to be worth a hunnerd and fiddy dollars by now. jockmike

-- Mike. Profisher50@yahoo.com

Well, I made a few mistakes so I cut the top off, shortened the legs and started on a Thorsen Greene & Greene coffee table, and used some more of the ol’ hunnerd dollar board to fix this table to what I want it to look like…pictures to follow
