re: Change Over Time

Having completed the furniture for my friend, it’s time to bring my own coffee tables to the top of the list. The wifey has picked some marble tiles for the tops to match the newly painted house interior. The tiles are 12″×12″ but I will wait until I have them in hand to start the build. She has decided the colour, wood type, size, and general design for the tables. They will be made from oak. The colour will match the existing dark colour of our entertainment center / fireplace and end tables I already made. The size will be determined by the actual tile size but will be close to 24″ × 48″. A number of years ago I had made a table for the flooring company she ran at that time, covered in tile as well, dark green tile. It was made from white oak and stained almost the same colour as what she wants now. The design is what she wants in the new tables. The old was a standard table height 30" with 4 legs and nothing special but all the edges were rounded on the outside and squared on the inside. All the leg s and top and top skirt were flush with the marble proud of the wood a 1/16". So I have a rough idea, she has ordered the tiles, now I am going to draw the project up and start a blog on the build. The first table is still in use in a flooring store and is built to last, so these will be solid as well and I figured to let everyone follow along. The project will begin in a week or so if anyone wants to watch.
