I built this for my wife as an occasional sewing bench, and when it wasn’t being used I thought it could function as a side table. She never wanted to use it as a sewing table because she said it was too nice. I almost made this thing from scraps from other projects, except I wasted the last tapered leg. I cut one of the tapers twice as I was cutting the last leg and had to put twenty bucks into it to finish it.

Very nicely done. Not bad at all for a “scrap” project!
Tell your wife to go ahead and use it as a sewing table when needed, as we made our dining table from fiddleback maple and left the live edge on the end planks along with the odd dips in the surface, as the high figure was hard to plane without having random chips gouge out. Since this is a table to be used everyday I didn’t want to become anxious if there should be a scratch or dent in it. Of course we take some care but life is full of mishaps and allowing them to be “as is” make one’s blood pressure more level! And, minor dents/scratches can be an annual repair.

I have to agree with your wife- it is too pretty to hide in a sewing room. :) Make her another one. :)
