There’s a modern white oak cantilever table with clean lines and a floating top, an LED-lit wine and whiskey cabinet that blends display and storage, and an end grain cutting board made from just a single 2×4. I also included a historic-inspired birdhouse project that adds a fun design twist to a backyard classic.
