A small table for our toddler to draw on and ruin 😊 Solid maple build with mortise & tenon aprons. The top was bookmatched from a piece of 8/4.

Finish was three coats of amber shellac for color and seal followed by three of wipe-on poly for durability.

    Your workspace is so clean and organized.

    Mine’s a dump lol. All flat surfaces have crap on them.

      The ideal workshop law states: the amount of stuff will expand in your workshop to take up all available space.

      Gotta spend about 10% of your “shop time” on organization and cleaning!

    This is beautiful! I hope you get to see some grandkids playing on it some day!

    Have you posted any pics of your shop already? Looks like you have a nice space.

      Thanks! We’re joking that it’ll wind up as a dorm room coffee table some day.

      I haven’t done a shop post. I’m lucky to have a large, clean space for my hobby and posting about it would feel like bragging to me.

      Yep! They let the top expand and contract with the seasons.
