This small coffee table is based on Charles Rohlfs 1900 Coal Hod (or coal storage box).  This is one of a number of Charles Rohlfs pieces that I have made.

I modified it a bit to make it more functional as a coffee table extending the top beyond the legs.  Unlike the original coal hod I did not carve the top. Rohlfs coal hod is about 30 inches wide and 14 inches high. I made the coffee table 24 inches in diameter and 16 inches high.

The coffee table is made from oak and finished with a Lee Valley Fumed Light Oak Analine Dye. The bottom portion is finished with shellac and the top with satin finish urethane and the waxed.
