Red Oak side table--or something

So whats the copper bottom for?

Here is what I (my wife) thinks—-
This is a baking table. The copper bottomed drawer held the flour.
I’m going to go with this, until better comes along.

Nice looking table.

The pot belly drawer makes me laugh. Nice work man.

The belly/flour drawer is a definite attention getter. Are the spaces next to the drawers dead space?
A very unique piece. Nice work once again.
My lathe skills are on the sub-par level, I know the time it takes to white knuckle a piece.

Another great project. That is a great bottom drawer. Nice work.

Finally new project from you.Interesting layout of drawers.Very unique bottom drawer.Nice turning.I bet your woodturning is faster than mine.

Thanks, Ivan. I really have been working—I just have not created anything very interesting lately.
I have a couple of projects in the shop now that have possibilities of a LJ posting. We’ll see.
Thanks for your kind words,

I really like it. I just think the curved draw at the bottom should also have Oak veneer to match the rest of the cabinet. Or the copper should also be polished. Just my 2 cents.

-- Have a great day.

thanks, Grossa

This table was made to match an antique baker’s table they already own. The copper bottom drawer was used to hold flour. Now they have a matched pair.
