I built this stand to display a statue. The piece is similar to the tables that I have built and I used the same joinery techniques. The table is 24" high, 24" deep and 30" long. I used ebony and dark walnut stain for contrast and finished with lacquer.

Cottage Bench
This cottage style bench was fun to make. It is made completely of pine with a painted based and stained top. This bench is great for an entryway, porch and even can be used as a small coffee table. it is 18"H x 14W x 44L. I distressed one of the benches to give it an old, well-used look. I think that other colors, such as clapboard white, colonial blue, or even a red would look great.

Podium/Bookstand
I made this for a friend to be used as a classroom podium. It would also be a pretty cool bookstand for an old family bible or another special book. The piece is made entirely of stained solid maple. It is slightly distressed with rub-offs and cross grain scratches (and some dings)to give it a well-used look. The finish coat is a tinted poly. The hinged lid hides a storage compartment below with a functioning drawer beneath that. The shelf below the drawer is sturdy enough to hold additional books.

The table is 34" tall. The legs are 1.75" square and slightly tapered on two sides. The table looks brown in the pictures but it is black as shown in the first photo.

Black Sofa Table
I know, I know...another black table. This is for a friend, who requested a black sofa table. The wood is poplar and pine and completely finished with a flat black paint. The finished table will be distressed. I may let the new owner determine how "distressed" this table will be. The measurements are 33" tall by 16" wide. The length is 55". The legs are slighly tapered on two sides. Since this is really a sofa table, I will ask the new owner to take pictures of the table once it is placed by the sofa.

Pottery Barn Style Entryway Shelf
Alder End Tables
I made these 2 end tables for Cyndee's birthday. The tables are made of alder and are from the free stash that I got from localwoodshop. I went to buy some wood and the guy there gave me the wood that they considered scrap and were going to throw away. These tables were made completely from free hardwood. The legs are 2" square and tapered on 2 sides. The finish is "Vermont Maple" with a couple of laquer coats. I had a good time making these tables!

Cottage-Style Tables
Sometimes I make something just to see if I can do it. I decided to make the blue "distressed" table and then kept making more with different colors. I am now selling off the "surplus", which is the black one, ivory one, and green one.
Cottage-Style entryway or console table made of solid pine and meant to have that "old-time" look. Top is stained and legs and base are painted and slightly distressed. The drawer is functional and the legs are tapered on all four sides. The table measures 36” long by 10.5” wide by 31” tall.
