Here’s a project I started a few weeks ago. It will be a Craftsman style coffee table that will be 45″ X 28″. This is the first piece in a set of 4 that will include the coffee table, 2 end tables and a sofa table.<\/p>\n

The wood is red oak from a couple of church pews that I picked up almost a year ago. A local church was moving and I was able to get 2 pews at a good price that yielded about 100 square feet of wood at 3\/4″ thickness.<\/p>\n

Here’s a photo of one of the pew backs:<\/p>\n

This is a photo of all the tops cut for the 4 pieces (yes, I’ve since got my blade sharpened :)):<\/p>\n

To make the legs I cut 4 pieces on the 45, inserted a 3\/4″ square piece in the center and then glued them together:<\/p>\n

Here’s what they looked like when finished and sawn to size:<\/p>\n

A fair amount of sanding is required to remove the old, aged finish:<\/p>\n

Here’s a couple of photos of the finished top sitting on top of the legs:<\/p>\n

Next I have to mortise the legs for the skirt, cut the skirts and tenon them, create the slats for the short sides and cut and sand the one piece bottom shelf.<\/p>\n
