I am almost finished making this table but I'm sharing it now 'cause I am too excited to wait! I just finished varnishing the drawers this morning and attached one handle. It's a simple black cast iron handle we picked up last weekend at an antique store in Stratford. Now I am on the hunt for four more cool (but different) handles... trip to Bruce Mines anyone?
It looks a little washed out in the pictures, just imagine it looking more rich and calm in real life! I used a pattern from Ana White's site for this reclaimed wood console table but adapted it a little - a bit smaller all around. It was the most challenging thing I've made so far! But so satisfying!
Last month I made this benchright coffee table but was stuck on the finish I wanted to use. So it's been left in it's natural state while I make a decision.
See the pocket holes at the joints - LOVE the Kreg Jig!
I picked up two of these lovelies at the antique shop too. They will be perfect on the two drawers....when I finally stain the table. Today I am leaning toward staining it one of the drawer colours from the console table - the bottom right drawer... what's your vote??

Your creations look amazing! Can't wait to see them in person soon!
thanks to Katie for suggesting the Kreg jig as a Christmas gift...
Very inspiring, Jane. Makes me want to start spending a little more time in my garage.
