Coffee Table and Sofa Table

This little coffee table was the first piece I made for my Fairfield; my second attempt and first furniture piece I have ever made. It's based on the Parquet Coffee Table from Pottery Barn. I made the base out of toothpicks which I painted black and the top is a piece of 1.0mm balsa wood which I scored using a sharp lead pencil to add the details of the wooden panels. I might darken and varnish the top yet - i'll wait and see what shade of wood stain i'm going to do my floorboards in. I made a little matching sofa table to go in my bay window of the Fairfield lounge room; also based on the matching furniture piece from Pottery Barn.
