The sun is streaming in the window across a new table that is close to completion. I like the fact that the table top is made of bamboo, recycled douglas fir plywood, and salvaged heart pine flooring. For the table base I have cleaned, polished and reworked a metal shipping crate. I added casters because the table is pretty heavy. It reminds me of a media cart that might have been used in elementary school.
I used a low VOC oil and wax finish that smells good when it is warmed by the sun, it also brings out the natural beauty of the old woods and the new bamboo.
Today I am working out the details of longer sofa table using some old pine that appears to have come from some kind of a furniture piece but I am not really sure what it was. I have done some exploration cuts with the table saw and the grain under weathered and grubby exterior looks fantastic. I am excited to see what will come out of the process.
