Small Tables
|
Our customer wished to retain the sentimental value of her
grandfather’s old workbench but in a more useful form compatible with a
refined living space.
|
|
Since the bench did not have particular collectible value, having
suffered deterioration and replacement of some base components, she
focused on reusing the original heavy red oak bench top.
|
 
|
From this rugged seven foot plank and several lesser components,
we designed and fashioned two very nice console tables in mission
styling.
|
  
|
In combination with new wood, each retains much of the historic character
of the original top while affording greater utility and simplicity of
maintenance. At 40” long, 30” tall, and 14” deep, these lovely tables are
finished with a satin lacquer in their natural red oak color.
|
|
Incidentally, the customer kept the two bench vises as heirlooms
and artifacts for her home.
