most of the stock used in this table is from a cherry craftman style bookcase that i build about ten years ago … after hauling it across the country in all my travels it was in pretty bad shape .. mostly the doors that were once on it and the plywood back were all damaged… the design came to me when my wife demanded that i make here an art table after she seen the bench i made for my self…. so i used the shelvels as the cherry top …. cut it in half , took apart the floating panels, shrunk the width down, glued them together, made a new bottom and used the old panels as the new shelves … designed the new shelve peg half dove tale rail adjustable shelf system and wala .!!!!!!!!! an art table ten years in the making…..the top of the table sits 40” h i hope she likes it she said she wanted it high .. her birthday is soon

it’s pretty cool to recycle one of your own projects.
I’ve got a bookshelf that i made back in high school that I’ve considered “re-allocating”!

That is some good looking grain in that table top.

Excellent craftsmanship too!

I bet your wife loves it. It’s hard to beat a hand made present from the heart.

It took me a minute looking at the last pic to realize what was going on. But I finally got it…

Nice job; very inventive.
