Being on work from home/stay at home had some time for some wife hinted projects.
4 feet long 18" deep, 18" high
Majority of the wood is recycled from baseboard trim, windows trim salvaged from houses built in the 20s, legs from barn wood.
Striping the paint from the side boards was a real pain(two boards glued together), I ended up only striping three boards not knowing initially what I was going to do with them.
Finished with Old Masters Provincial wiping stain, finished with oil based statin poly.

Looks nice. I had a ton of that same material and used it on lots of things. Made a lot of thinner trim,,,,etc.

We took it all out of the present house we are in. It was in 3 rooms. Walls and ceilings. 10 coats of paint....

I love it, well done!
I started with absolutely nothing. Now, thanks to years of hard work, careful planning, and perseverance, I find I still have most of it left.

I couldn't buy a mortiser (not a hand tool person) in time before everything was shut down(I very rarely by new). Saw two Powermatic PM701s on Facebook marketplace, people didn't respond.

Beautiful job! Hey when the little lady wants something done just get it done. M&T sometimes takes too long unless you have a domino machine or a mortising jig. Pocket screws just plain git r done!
