Primitive End Table...

Hi Everyone!  Happy Tuesday!  I'm still working on my kitchen island redo but I wanted to show you the end table I just finished for a client.  I had made one of these a few months back that I took to the shop where it instantly sold.  My client saw it there and finally called me and ordered one for herself.  So before I sent it off to it's new home, I thought I'd share it with you.  I of course didn't stop to take pictures so I could write a tutorial because I was under a bit of a deadline to get it made.  Next time, I promise!

It's really a simple design but seems to go over well.  The top is made of several boards that I used my handy dandy biscuit joiner to connect them together, then I cut the corners with my jig saw so they were rounded instead of square.  After I painted it, I sanded all the edges and put a coat of sealer on the top, but only the top.  And there you have it.  Now it's off to it's new home.  Now it's time to get back to work on that kitchen island!  Thanks for stopping by.

Little black table...

Hi Everyone!  Happy Sunday!  I hope you are enjoying your weekend.  I've been out in the shop this weekend so I thought I'd share my little black table with you.  I'm really happy with how this turned out.

The legs are recycled from a large dining table.  One of the legs on that table had broken up at the top, so that meant they had to be cut down, which was fine with me.  I  wanted to make a table that was more end-table height.

I really like the detail on the legs.  My kitchen table has almost the same details only they are thinner.

 I wasn't sure about painting it black, but all the wood used on this was different.  And it would have been very expensive to make them match, so painting was the only option.

I haven't decided if it needs distressed or not.  What's the worse that can happen?  If I don't like it, then I'll just have to repaint the edges.

 What do you have planned for your Sunday?  I'm going back out to the shop and work on a few more projects and maybe I'll go ahead and sand this.  Well, thanks for stopping by.
