Another project I finally got a chance to tackle in the new spring weather. Had this iron table stand I picked up somewhere, painted it from green to black. Got the Chinese checkers board in a box of stuff at an auction. Painted and sealed them both and now have a nice side table. Might add an electric tealight candle in a holder underneath for a nice glow.

Pattern or design used: My own design
