Jack Budny


Occasional Table Jack designed and constructed the table. Alder was used with black ebony accents (edging around top, inlay and mortise blocks). Finished with an initial coat of sealer followed by a single coat of Watco Oil (Natural) and finished with three coats of wipe-on varnish.

Shoe Bench Jack designed a sitting bench to be used outside the front door of his daughter, son-in-law and grandchildren's home in Kornwestheim Germany for changing house shoes to street shoes and vice versa. The bench contains a tilted rack below the seat to store shoes. The bench is made of poplar with through tenons. The accent wood is walnut. The wood of the seat is two jointed boards, one of which was selected for its highly decorative knot. The knot is fixed with cyanoacrylate glue. As shown, the bench is unfinished but it was ultimately finished with four coats of brushed Watco Oil (Natural).

Lateral File CabinetJack constructed the case using ¾" mahogany plywood with ebony inlay and walnut trim. He specifically designed the case with dimensions to fit a niche in his home. The file drawers are made of ½" birch plywood. The cabinet sets on a castered platform constructed of 2"X6" fir planks. Full-extension drawer slides we used. The finish is brushed satin polyurethane.

Molly Brown Table Jack made the portable/folding table from a plan originally published in American Woodworker, April 2000. The table is constructed of walnut with a Tung Oil rubbed on finish.
