Everyone needs a table to rest their work upon while enjoying a lazy day in the sun. These Flintstone style tables now adorn my porch. Over the Christmas holidays I scavenged about 10 feet of fallen cedar timber which a neighbor had lovingly left on the curb for the trash man to pick up. Such a waste I thought. Five of those ten feet have been converted for use as drink rests, homework holders, or foot rests. Each piece has a cherry wood top finished with tung oil for protection. The bases are free-hand routed ceder stumps with cement inlays. The wood left showing has had a veneer of colored oil applied to further highlight the inlaying affect. These took a few weekends to complete with the odd hour here or there. I have enjoyed the project, and will keep an eye out for more wood.
