  1. Cypress Timber Table

    A Cypress timber with an authentic hand hewn tip that measures 9"x13-1/2"x 46" is used to make this table. This timber was reclaimed off a bridge, circa 1880, located just north of New Orleans. We wanted to preserve the original integrity and character of the wood by leaving it natural with an...
  2. Ebonized Oak Shadow Box End Table

    This is an end table I made a few years ago-it is solid oak with pocket screw joinery (with plugs) and a 1/4 inch glass top. I started the finish using the vinegar and steel wool ebonizing trick, but wasn't happy with the color (a little too purple), so I covered it with a dark brown oil-based...
  3. License Plate Coffee Table

    My father kept most of his old license plates over the years. After he passed away I want to make use of them in some way. I eventually settled on making a coffee table with them. The center of the table is recessed enough to have the plates screwed down and then there is a quarter inch thick...

    I built this small (16" diameter, 23" high) side table to fit into a sitting area in our master bedroom. The top is maple veneer over MDF, while the legs and ring are solid maple.

  6. VECTER coffee table

    Following on from the CNX side table and using 40mm square is a tad simpler to workout angles then on round stock and the way the flat surfaces refract light really highlight the angles. This was going to be just a concept piece making it smaller. IT turned out better than i exspected, it is...

    I built this vanity for my wife for her birthday. I based the design off a picture of a vanity I saw online, though I altered it a good deal. it is made of African Mahogany and tiger maple. The top is sort of a shadow box, with the main portion of the top sliding out, so she can add her own...

  11. Finishing
    I have never built and finished a piece of functional furniture before so I am venturing into new territory. I decided to build a simple frame desk that required no special joints other than wood glue (Titebond III). I chose a design by Armand Sussman, I found in Popular Woodworking (OCT...
  12. Woodworking Skill Share
    I recently had a tempered glass sheet made that sits freely on top of a wooden tabletop to protect the tabletop. The top is around 4 feet by 3 feet. The glass looks great but as it is secured to the wood by gravity only, there is always a chance of movement. I don't want to mark the wooden...

    Hi all, at a recent trip to a flea market I found a set of eight chisel bits in a wood case. I seen them before in catalogs and thought they may be handy. All eight are brand new, had the plastic end covers, super sharp and had no use that I can tell. I asked what he wanted and acquired them for...
