This little table needed some lovin. I picked it up at a yard sale for $20. I have been carving other wooden items and I thought "Why not a table Top"? The top was very thick.
This is how I found this little table . In need of some love.

The top was real thick
My Dogwoods were in bloom so I picked a few flowers to get the dimensions right . Then I drew them on the table freehand . I used my burning tool for the outline and the detailing on the flowers and then I use my carving tools to carve out around the flowers.
I used a pink and white chalk paint and then worked the antiquing wax into the detail on the flowers.
I sanded the rest of the table and used the wax on it.
I treid to get pictures to show the carving detail
Pinted the little knob black so it would stand out a bit
Waited on the sun to go down a bit to get a better angle shot
Enjoyed the project?
Suggested materials:
