Last night I sanded and sanded until I wore most of the spare skin off my fingers and thumbs.

This version has an acrylic top, but the plan is to use laminated plywood, which will compliment california dreamin', the coffee table. Eventually there will be built-in usb power ports and a light.
This a view underneath, where the yellow bit represents a cover for the back of the 4-port usb charging unit. The light location is yet to be determined.

I've been enjoying images of mid-century modern homes in California. I don't know why, now, especially, but I like the glass walls and courtyards, the pools and the flat roofs.
Today I was inspired to send some props to the land of my dreams. I had time at work, and they are generous with scrap materials, so...
California Dreamin' Coffee Table.
Acrylic top, laminated plywood base.
It's hard to take a picture of this thing, but it feels friendly, and it feels innocent.
Can a table be innocent?
I'm considering some color- maybe tinting the exposed endgrain.
