A coffee table

After I'd finished the sofa, I needed to make a coffee table of course :)
I didn't use a tutorial but found inspiration from these images;

I needed to do something a bit out of my comfort zone, because I don't want only oak stained furniture in the cottage. This might seem hardly different but it was for me lol

For the legs I drew a template first. Cut the four legs from
Balsa. 4 mm if I remember correctly. Then I stacked them all
 up and sanded them together in the hope to get identical legs :)

The top is from Balsa 2,5 mm, but the legframe is from
cardboard, because I didn't want that to have wood grains.

The top got an oak stain coating and leg frame a layer
of Gesso (primer). For a little sturdiness I'd glued thin
Balsa strips on the inside of the cardboard.

With a layer of black acrylic paint, and a bit of
sanding some edges for aging.

I then drybrushed some gold paint
on the sanded edges and glued the
top onto the leg frame.

Time for the furniture removers, I guess ;)

Though Penny is already getting comfortable outside
the living room.

Just a glimpse of the living room because photo's are either 
too dark or too bright inside (a) Still a work in progress.
