Back when the pandemic started, my sibling and I decided to take on a little woodworking project during lockdown: a table for tabletop gaming, featuring fold-out player stations and a TV in the middle for battle maps. After more than 3 years, we finally finished!

This was our first major woodworking project, and we made a ton of rookie mistakes. I was too impatient with the wood stain, and I got really inconsistent results, and despite our best efforts a lot of pieces didn’t line up quite right. But overall the table is beautiful and it’s built like a tank, so it should last through many campaigns.

Hopefully this project will be the first of many!

      It’s oak (I can’t remember if it’s white or red, it’s been so long since I bought it). I did manage to avoid splotches, but different pieces came out with vastly different shades because I didn’t stain it all at once, and my technique and the stain both changed over time.
