    Shop office table

    After 6 years, I finally got rid of the plastic outdoor table in my office. I wanted something playful, so I used up leftover strips from the past few months to make the top and showcase some of the species that we use in our cabinet doors. From the center: teak, maple, walnut, sapele, cherry, jatoba, bigleaf maple. The base is from a timber used in the shipping pallet of a dust collector that I bought years ago. It was a 4"x6"x10' beam of ambrosia maple. Materials = basically free + 3 days of build time. I had a cabinet shop customer spray the top with conversion lacquer, and we used an oil poly for the base. Used the Domino to construct the base, which worked really well.

    That's a really great way to celebrate wood in a wood shop!
