This a simple tabel and stool I slapped up using scrap bits.
The table legs are an offcut of 125 x 125 cypress post. This was ripped into 4 and planed. I then attached the skirt which is a bit of hardwood skirting board taht was under the house. Nothing fancy basic mitre joints and attached to the legs with a air gun and glue. The top is 2 floor boards I scrounged. may be Jarrah and spotted gum. Glued and "secret" nailed on top of the skirt I then ran the router around the top to make it flush with the skirt. I then hid the ends and sides of the floor boards with a piece of scrap i had lying around. All up took about an hour.
Stool tops was one piece of painted board, which I ran through the thicknesser (before realising what it does to the blades) THe top had a rebate that I cleaned out with a router and filled with an offcut of the spotted gum flooring from the table. The geometric inlay shapes are a bit of garden edging (Jarrah?) whcih I ran through the thicknesser as an experiment. Routed eth hole and cleaned up with a chisel. Once completed ran the whole lot through the thickneser to tidy up. Legs and sides were bits of scrap lying around. Again about an hours work.
A couple of coats of cabots poly and I was suprised with the reuslt.
