Custom Coffee Tables from Awards or Degree Plaques


Custom Small Coffee Table Custom Small Coffee Table base Have you ever thought about what to do with old laminated awards or degree plaques? Well I would suggest converting them into family heirlooms as small coffee or end tables. The image on the left shows a 14" by 17" laminated plaque used as the top of a small table. The height is that of a standard coffee table, 16.5". The laminated surface should standup well to cold drinks and water spills. A hot plate should be used for any hot object placed on the surface.

I think this is a great way to make use of some plaques, making them a center of attention and a reminder of what the plaque represents.

As of Nov 2009 the cost for these small tables is $200 plus packing, shipping and insurance which usually is in the $20 to $40 range depending on the distance from Durham, NC. You would be responsible for shipping the plaque to me. Alternatively, I could ship the base and four table top clamps and screws with you responsible attaching the 4 screws.

The image on the right is a base made from American Cherry. Bases can be made in a variety of hardwoods:
