My entry for the competion is a small side table made from Douglas fir. More details about the table and additional photos are presented in my blog. I’m pleased with the way the table turned out. More importantly, my wife likes it a lot. Now on to the box project.

I’d have to use a whole 2×4 just to get one leg right. Great job!

Very nice table. The edge on the top adds a nice touch.

FIR is a beautifully grained wood. Especially quartersawn with parallel grain.

Great looking project. Got my vote.

Thanks for all the nice comments. It was a fun project. I didn’t have a good place to take photos, so I used Photoshop to crop out the background and then filled the cleared area with a solid light blue. That way you aren’t distracted by all the clutter behind the table.

very nice… i fear we’re going to accidentally put the lumberyards out of business. Or they’ll see all the great things were making out of 2×4s (and realize we’re not buying “the Good stuff”) that they’ll have to start marking all the Walnut and Cherry way down!
