Tagged: Sofa table
I made this from the sofa table series for a friend who could not get a table to fit by his front door. It is made from ash and the wood cost £80 which is quiet a lot I think. I dread to think what I would need to charge if this was my living? About £260 I reckon. I wonder who would pay that even if it was up to an excellent standard. Is anyone else shocked by the price of really nice hard wood? This was some nice wood but some of it was very hard to work with almost crumbly grain. Anyway, I deliver it tomorrow and hope he likes it.

Was the wood you used rough-milled at purchase or was it ready to use? If you’re willing to do the grunt work, usually you can get much better pricing. But yeah, hardwood can be exorbitantly expensive at some shops I’ve found–probably because they are few and far between and have that kind of pricing power.
