Odd shape table

Our new sofa arrived yesterday and after we re-arranged the living room we were left without enough places to put our cups of tea on. In our house, that's a problem that needs a quick solution.


As I had done before I made a small side table out of off-cuts of oak I had in the shed.


One bit of timber was a convenient angle to fit the triangle between the sofa and the arm chair.


The design was made up on the fly based on the few bits of oak I had.


The top, front leg and lower shelf are all cut from the same misshapen plank.


Being late autumn and a bit cold we have the range lit and so the kitchen is very warm. So warm that the varnish dried much quicker than normal. I was able to get both coats on in the same afternoon and it was dry enough to use that same evening!
