Ski coffee table

Last winter my grandson built coffee tables in white pine for a fundraiser at the Timmins Ski Club. Three tables were built and they brought in $1000 at auction.

First commission

This year Jacob received his first commission for a similar table but in a more “dressed up” wood. Butternut was used. We made 2 more to be auctioned off at his ski club. (30” x 18”)
