My wife found a picture of a wash stand she really liked and asked me to build one for her. Here's the finished product—a beautiful custom-made solid white pine wash stand with poplar towel bars, 29-1/2 inches at the widest point by 21 inches deep by 35-1/2 inches at the highest point. The cabinet part is 19-1/2 inches wide by 20 inches deep by 30 inches high. Two doors and one drawer hand dovetailed.

Little Staked Table

Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


I blogged about the building of this little staked table so if you want details of the construction, that's probably the best place to go.Briefly, the table consists of turned ash legs, staked into two pine battens, which are attached to the bottom of the pine top. Finish was three coats of shellac, followed by two coats of enamel.Photos are:

1. The table in its final home, on our portale, leading to our front door.
2. The table with the first coat of shellac on it.
3. The battens and legs, assembled.
4. The table top before any shaping.
5. The turned table legs.
6. The initial sketched plan.
