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 ?

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

Good looking job. Nice table.

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