That ‘table’ is actually a small, wooden fruit crate turned on its side for max vertical height. Had some cut branches from a birch cypress tree that I hammered in around the sides to give it some depth for potting soil later on. I might still use it as a planter but for now its performing table-like duties.
That’s interesting. Dad’s was made out of pine, and had some groves on the sides for decoration. It was square with 4 legs-one on each side placed in the middle. It had additional cross braces about 6 inches from the bottom.
A nice smooth finish/stain. And varnished to protect the finish.
