Tryde Coffee Table
![](/sites/default/files/image_401.jpg)
This was built using redwood 2x6 planks trimmed on the edges to square them off and get them to 5" each. I used kiln dried redwood 4x4's as well. The redwood was a bit more pricey BUT it is far lighter than pine and the boards and grain are of a higher quality. The planks were put together with 6 dowels on either side along with glue and big cabinet clamps. The top was also attached to the base with a dowel every 12". I sanded to expose/raise the grain on purpose and give it a hand scraped look. I went two tone on the piece to match my dining set I did. The top is Jacobean and the bottom is Annie Sloan old white chalk paint. The piece is designed to getter better with age ;)
