Custom Tables big and small

    I thought I'd ask out there on the Internet if there was anyone looking to have a large table built.  I picked up this old take with the best set of legs I've ever seen. ..it came from old heritage house in Tignish. The table was in very bad shape...so I salvaged the legs and can make a table as small as 3' or as large as 16'.  
     Last week I make this 6'table for a client.  The stained to table was for a client who have me the legs.

Plant Stand from old milk separator

     I got this old milk separator stand last week and made it into a plant stand or night stand...I used an old cat iron frying pan for the middle plate.

Pot Belly Night Stand

     I picked up this pot belt stove the other day and decided to put a wood top on it and a wood bottom under the ash pan. This would make a great night or lamp table/stand.

Old Butcher Block

     My nephew and I were out picking the other day and got this old work bench.  I cleaned it up and putwheels on it. The wheels come from an old horse treadmill  like the image below.

Old Nail Bin

    I got this old mail bin. ..I squared of the sides then matched the original paint.

Jam Cupboard from very old shutters

     I got these old shutters years ago and decided to make a jam cupboard from them.  The other side of the shutter was louvered - they seem to have folded into a side panel in a house...possibly 1840's.
