This is my first ever woodworking project and I was inspired by watching the WoodWhisperer and his end table series. The table is made from pine and birch ply because at the time I couldn’t afford any hardwood. I finished it with sealcoat shellac, General finishes java gel stain and a couple light coats of poly. I know at one point in Marc’s end table series he had mentioned that someone said he should flip his table upside down, so that’s the way I made mine. I wasn’t going to at first but I asked my dad which way he liked it best and it ended up that way. So thanks for the great helpful videos and the inspiration Marc.

I agreed with the many and said it would look better up-side down…..now I have proof. Nice Job!

That’s beautiful, and a great example of how inexpensive wood can be made into a beautiful project. It’s not the material, but the craftsmanship.

Thanks again for the nice comments, there were a couple things in this I’d like to do differently next time like tighter fitting joints/less glue, rounded out the legs a bit more and waiting a few more days for the gel stain to completely cure before adding a clear coat But it helped me learn a lot about this woodworking thing.
