A small table for our toddler to draw on and ruin 😊 Solid maple build with mortise & tenon aprons. The top was bookmatched from a piece of 8/4.
Finish was three coats of amber shellac for color and seal followed by three of wipe-on poly for durability.
is the top just clipped into those little slots?
Yep! They let the top expand and contract with the seasons.
Beautiful work!
Your workspace is so clean and organized.
Mine’s a dump lol. All flat surfaces have crap on them.
Gotta spend about 10% of your “shop time” on organization and cleaning!
The ideal workshop law states: the amount of stuff will expand in your workshop to take up all available space.
Freaking gorgeous.
That looks great. You should be proud of your work and your shop!
That is beautiful. Nice work.
My dad made me a table like this when i moved out the first time and i plan on keeping it
That is gorgeous, great choices on the finishing, it really brings that wood to life
This is beautiful! I hope you get to see some grandkids playing on it some day!
Have you posted any pics of your shop already? Looks like you have a nice space.
Thanks! We’re joking that it’ll wind up as a dorm room coffee table some day.
I haven’t done a shop post. I’m lucky to have a large, clean space for my hobby and posting about it would feel like bragging to me.
That’s fair, but I’m sure I’m not the only one who appreciates photos of well put together shops.
