Built this pet kennel end table from Ana's plans for my dad for Christmas. Only changes I made were to the dimensions to better fit my dads mid-sized dog and the top which I made by laminating a few boards rather than sheet material. Everything but the side panels is oak. Plans were really simple and I'm really happy with the finished product. As soon as I revealed it on Christmas morning his dog knew who it was for and ran right in and laid down with his new bone. Very awesome payoff to say the least.

Built from Plan(s)
Estimated Cost
~$100 bucks or more depending where you get your oak. I got my for a steal from a guy emptying his shop otherwise I would've used cheaper wood.
Estimated Time Investment
Weekend Project (10-20 Hours)
Finish Used
Danish Oil - Dark Walnut, several coats. The oak doesn't absorb the dark color very much but gives a really nice smooth finish.
