Modern textured coffee table with dowel

The project:

I was wanting a coffee table that matched the vibe of my house but also wanted to combine different textures! I'd checked online and haven't found anything like this.

- Materials:

• Dowel 12mm
• Pre finished white board
• Plinth from kmart
• Liquid nails
• White Grout
• Grout sealer
• Clear lacquer
• Trowel

- Tools:

• Drop saw
• Caulking gun
• Sander
• Jigsaw

- Step 1:

Use the jigsaw to cut your desired coffee table shape from the white pre finished board

Sand the edges with some sand paper or an electric sander

- Step 2:

Use the drop saw to cut down the lengths of dowel (note-the amount required depends on the size circular Plinth you will be covering)

Once these are cut down, use the liquid nails to glue each of them the down around the plinth

- Step 3:

Apply the white Grout to the coffee table top using the Trowel trying to make an even layer and add texture

Once the Grout it dry, apply a clear Grout sealer

- Step 4:

Use liquid nails to glue the top of the coffee table to the base.

Finish off the timber dowel with either a clear lacquer (which is what I used) or your desired stain colour and enjoyyy ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Hello @Emilylouu__

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your coffee table project.

What a stunning piece of furniture! The combination of the fluted timber base and textured tabletop creates a beautifully balanced design that's both modern and full of character. It's the sort of statement piece that instantly draws your eye while still being practical for everyday living. If you have any progress photos from when you were building it, we'd love to see them too. I'm sure our members would enjoy following the process and seeing how this beautiful coffee table came together.

Again, thanks you for sharing this very unique project.

Eric
