Post by: drow on July 31, 2012, 11:41:51 AM
working on a table for my wife's pottery shop...

the table is based on these plans (http://www.currentmiddleages.org/tents/table2tudor.pdf), though i've altered the dimensions.  the supporting post profile is intended to be of a goblet or cup, to reflect my wife's work.  construction is done, now to finish it!

Drow... please tell me you have made more of these table/bench sets... and are selling them!  You should definitely offer these for sale in your booth, since your wife is obviously not the only artisan in the family! 

I know it's been almost a year and a half since this thread was active, but, having stumbled across it, I just wanted to see if you were following up on your success with these pieces, and continuing to create beautiful things!  :)

I think they sold their pottery shop. I didn't see it when I was there in 2013.

What a shame.  They could definitely set up shop at any SCA event and sell these tables and benches, though!
