My sister asked me to make her a small table for her 1/2 bath so that she could have some storage for "essentials" in a room otherwise without. She was at a craft show and saw something made of lacewood and liked it a lot.
Finished size is 10x10x31. All old school construction - hand cut mortise & tenon joinery, a total of 2 screws to hold the top on. The main body is solid lacewood, the panels lacewood veneer over baltic birch ply. I chose pine trees for the inlay bacause they live in Vermont, where, if you've never been, there are pines everywhere!
Hand finished with satin polyurethane.
She wants to pay me for it, I want to give it to her for all than she has done for me over the years, and she has done a lot. Materials were ~$325, and I have probably 25 hours in the build.
Now, she wants bookcases for either side of the fireplace. Those will probably be walnut to go with the rest of the house, but we'll see! (and those, she will be paying for!)
