The small table we had been using on the deck has gotten wobbly and weather-beaten, and is now out in the playhouse.
To replace it, I started with the cable spool end that I've used in the living room before, and then I thought about how to make a base for it. The spool end still has half of the spool shaft on it, so the base would have to be hollow in the middle.
The easiest option was to pull some chunks of 6x6 redwood deck beam out of the garage, and stack them log-cabin-style.
These chunks I had originally cut up to stand on end and tie together as sort of a piered chair, and they were individually painted. There were also some redwood deck stiles, which I had used as table legs some years back, which I used for one layer in the stack.
The final result looks good enough, and better than it ought to.
