Dam it has been too cold and windy to enjoy the out of doors much lately so I decided to build another table we don’t need. The legs are painted because the only stock I had that was large enough was popular, they are farm house red because that was the color I had. The ash top is a little longer than it is wide because it worked out for the board I wanted to use. The drawer pull is a cherry shaker pull because I had one left from another project.
My wife said she is giving it to our daughter in law for her birthday. So I guess it all worked out in the end.

I am up in Minnesota, so I can’t even begin to count the number of unneeded boredom curing winter tables I’ve built. They always seem to find a home though.

”low budget winter boredom table”

Very nicely done.

You just happened to have the material on hand to stave off the winter doldrums and your daughter-in-law is the benefactress of a fine handcrafted birthday gift.

Looks like a ‘Win, Win’, twofold solution to me.

The Ash top looks very nice : )
It appears that you tapered the legs on the outside , or is it just my eyes ?

-- When did quiet and quite become the same word ? I'm guessing about the same time as your and you're did.

Cool table! The edges of top look sweet, can see the sap and heartwood.

Good looking job. Nice table.

Great use of leftover material and “boredom”.... Very nice piece

You should be bored more often. That is a nice table (I thought those legs were some exotic red colored wood LOL).
