Side Table Topper
A Project From 2024
WE PURCHASED A SIDE TABLE from Crate & Barrel back in the mid-90s. The form of the table is a pinched cylinder. It’s made of steel, with dark brown jute glued to and wrapping the sides. Jute is also glued to the top, forming a spiral. It’s an interesting looking table, but it’s not fun to touch. Jute is prickly. What this table needed was a nice, smooth wood topper.
A disc was cut from ½ inch poplar-veneer plywood and thin strips of poplar were wrapped around and glued to the disc to form a substatial and more finished-looking edge. The wood top simply rests on the table, overlapping the edge of the jute surface a bit.
