Was commissioned by a local nursery to make a table from recycled wood for a plant-show they are exhibiting at. The table top is made of slats, from an old futon. The trough in the middle is removable, and has been planted with camomile.
This is the pile of timber I started with:
Planed up the edges, and glued the slats to make the table top:
...then mitred the corners and routed a lap-joint:
Used some leftover marine ply to make the planting trough:
Made the legs on the lathe (using only a skew):
Then glued it all together:
Got the first coat of varnish on tonight. Time for a couple more before the weekend:
