Cedar tea tables

I recently had some time to start working on repurposed furniture projects again. These tea tables were made with 90% salvaged and repurposed materials. Salvaged plywood and cedar planks from a dismantled cedar closet were used for the table tops. The table bases used to be gumball machine stands.

I really love how vibrant the cedar looked after I added a clear coat of polyurethane. I still have a lot of cedar planks and plywood left so I hope to be able to make a coffee table and more tea tables in the future.
