    Default Small Oak Table Project

    No pre design, just a very small oak table to sit a portable TV on. One criteria is it must be no higher than 6" :lol: and I must be able to make it from the wood in the pic


    Just bog standard table construction, breadboard ends, four rails, four legs. But it may look almighty odd being short in the leg, a bit like Ronnie Corbet.

    :lol:

    PS.. the walnut hall table is on hold until I've made this table.

    The top with breadboard ends is finished


    Base assembled and glued, I would have liked to add a very small taper to the inside of the legs but the customer gets what the customer wants.

    Finished


    Two coats of shellac one coat of clear Black Bison paste wax.




    Dunno why the bottom pic is so pale, flash pic I suppose. The top pic is pretty true to the real colours.

    Well done LN.
    Pretty hard to get an idea of how small it is.
    Nice timber.

    Very nice Lord Nibbo. You are right about the flash. It always lightens the colour. I turn mine off when photographing wood.

    I totally agree with you my lord. I always add a small taper to the inside of the legs too. It look so much better that way. Too much taper is no good but without it the base just looks incomplete.

    Nice little project there and the top looks amazing. Good work as usual.
