Inexpensive Coffee Table

Great job and very creative!

Hey that does look pretty nice. I really like the way you tapered the legs. When you get more money you can easily add a nice top made of pine over the OSB.

Looks like a burl wood slab

-- Norman - I never never make a mistake, I just change the design.

I’m actually a HUGE fan of OSB used in furniture if it is under a good solid layer of finishing. I think it looks really exotic. I love this piece. :)

I did this for shelving under my cement workbench in my garage, the OSB did look really neat with the varying strand color and arrangement. I thought I was really ingenious to come up with this by myself, but then I saw this technique used for the shelving at an REI, and couldn’t figure out how the REI people got into my garage to steal my idea!

Very creative! The osb does resemble an exotic burl. If you are located close to East Tennessee, I’ll donate a slab for you to make a bench or coffee table. I’ve got some extra slabs that I don’t have plans to use and I’d like to see someone get to enjoy them.

That’s what I call economy furniture with class!

Looks great, a true blessing of the economy, it forces us to think outside the normal.

-- The basis for optimism is shear terror

I like it! Maybe I’ll use osb for the panel on my tool cabinet doors (the one on my to do list). Nice idea.

Great looking table.

I have seen literally thousands of projects here that use really cool techniques or materials. this is one of the cooles because it uses inexpensive materials and it came out looking really nice.
